Removing an Idler pulley bolt?

[Johnlemon]

So the idler pulley between the power steering pump and ac compressor suddenly locked up and shred apart the drive belt. I try to remove the pulley but there is not enough clearance between the frame and the engine to get the bolt out, about an inch higher and I can possibly take it out.
Any safe way of removing it?


and another question
my valve cover is leaking, if the gasket is fine, is it reusable?

 

[Johnlemon]

can I lift the engine slightly from the oil pan?
like:

Yes if you remove the passenger side motor mount nuts.

so I removed the pulley, the ball bearing went bad.
Went to Napa, Oreilly, and Autozone. No place had the right part! Anyone know where I can get the right one? need it ASAP, its my daily driver

I have several good used ones.

I'm going to go looking for one today and tomorrow, and if I can't find one, Ill get back to you Mr. Nimz. But I have to make sure that this is the original pulley size, Napa's were either too big or too small.
Outside diameter is 86mm or 3 3/8 in.
Inside is about 2cm

It's a proprietary bearing. Good luck looking.

SHOnut has it on their Performance page http://www.shonutperformance.com/

SHOSource does too. http://shosource.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=229

It is available ONLY thru Shonut and Shosource, trust me, I tried multiple bearing industry sources to no avail.
