If anyone is interested, with ac off the center should not turn at all...

With the ac on the center should spin with the pulley.

Mine has since died, turned on engine, squealing like never heard and smoke pouring out bonnet

had to cut the belt with a little help from Stanley

And here is the belt with code if anyone needed it

Any reason for cutting the belt? couldn't you have slackened the adjuster, and removed the belt. Or was it trapped behind the others?

If the clutch on AC compressor seizes on then the system over pressurises and belt will slip/smoke/break, you cannot remove the belt without removing the other two first, I might have a working AC compressor Alex, Rick
