Question Pulley Bearing removal

I've got a squealing pulley bearing on my 1985 22RE, I replaced one pulley bearing on the tensioner up high on the motor, no issues with it. Now I'm working on the pulley bearing for a tensioner that is low on the motor the passenger side (not sure of its exact name.) I'm trying to figure out how to get the old bearing out, I cant figure out how to remove it, there appear to be some indentions holding it in place and I cannot get past them.



Any ideas/instructions would be helpful.

or you could also buy a new pulley for $20 if you don't want to deal with it. Looks like you are talking about the A/C idler pulley, but they are interchangeable (Power steering & A/C idler pulleys) even if someone told you otherwise.

BTW that pulley doesn't look serviceable, has no retainer clip on it.

Yeah, I was afraid it was non-servicable. Thanks for the info
