You cannot buy the pulley on it's own, or replace it AFAIK.
It is factory pressed into the large cast iron mounting bracket. I think that is why it's so expensive.

they are a piece of piss to free off, my air con tensioner (which is just about the same) was siezed 4 years ago, loads of wd40 then moving it backwards and forwards in a vice followed by loads of "normal oil" soon had it freed off, still free now!!!
