Anyone replaced an AC idler bearing/pulley? 200 1993

My AC compressor is howling when the AC is not engaged. I have a good used pulley bearing assembly. The NSK bearing in it looks and feels almost brand new. I am just not sure how to replace it. The Bentley was not very much help.

From what I can see there is an allen bolt in the center that must hold the clutch assembly. I tried to remove the screw but the whole clutch spins when you try to take it out. I don't see any obvious way of holding it to get the bolt loose.

Any tips would be appreciated. Will I need some kind of puller or will the old one just slide off?

You'll need a puller to get the clutch assembly off, and a holder or strap wrench to hold the puly from turning while getting it loose
