Default AC Idler Pulley Replacement

I've determined using the rubber hose listening method that my top AC Idler pulley is making all the noise I'm hearing and needs replacement. It appears easy to access from the top. Can this pulley be replaced from the top? Any 'gotchas' to be aware of? What is a good manufacturer of a replacement pulley? Thanks for the replies!

I replaced one on a C5 and found it was easier from the bottom.
