Default SOLVED: Trying to remove power steering/AC tensioner pulley

Solved: I figured out how to remove the tensioner pulley for the power steering & A/C belt. It is on a 2002 2.4L 4 cylinder Galant, and has about 1/2 inch of clearance from the fender wall. It is worn and needs a new bearing.

SOLVED: I removed the belt in the normal way. I removed the nut mounting the pulley to the bracket (under the power steering pump). I supported the engine on the oil pan (using a board to protect the pan and distribute the force) and unfastened the single bolt on the engine mount. I jacked the engine up until I got the pulley off. In my case I also pulled the bracket holding the power steering pump off (four bolts).
