a/c idler pulley stuck
is there a trick to getting it off? I have the water pump out of the way already but the pulley does not want to come off the shaft. soaked it in penetrating oil and will try again tomorrow, the car has 150K on it and this is the original a/c idler

yes there is a bolt thru it but the inside of the idler pulley bearing slips onto a shaft/boss that is aluminum and is part of the a/c mounting bracket. the inner part of the bearing is stuck to the aluminum shaft/boss. I may just get a small gear puller to get it off.
