can aircon pump bearing be replaced

[Madmark]

The bearing in the clutch pully died few months ago. Can it be replaced in situe so I don't need it regasing as only just had it done

[solarman216]

it is not easy to get the pulley off even on the bench, I destroyed one a short while ago trying and learnt it's secret but cannot remember without looking at the bits, still on the bench I think, will have a look tomorrow, problem is you cannot use a puller as it distorts the assembly, I think I found a circlip under a plate which I could not find how to remove it without breaking it, but as said will look tomorrow, Rick
