47765, PS/AC bearing removal

I am trying to remove the bearing to switch it out on my tensioner and the fucker wont coem out. I guess you have to take off the whole bracket dont you? This sucks! The bracket bolts are practicaly welded on there.

Ok well I got the damn bearing out and I had to lossen the bracket that holds the AC compressor to the block. But it finally came off. Then when I got it back together I realized I forgot to put that little clip back on the bearing wheel. DOH! Maybe I shouldnt drink before I work on my car..lol. I hope it works with out the clip. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Oh man, that sucks Dave. It was hard for me to get the pully out also....just dropped it back and down. I'd put that clip back in there though.
