I believe the pulley for my AC is bad as I can spin it by hand (with the belt off) and can hear clicking noises as it turns. My theory is that with the belt on and running much faster than I can spin by hand, the noise becomes amplified to the point of a nasty screech. (The belt is fairly new and was changed by a mechanic before I decided to start learning this stuff myself.)
I looked through the parts list pdf file I grabbed awhile back and found part number 83501845 ("PULLEY, Clutch Drive"). Searching a mopar parts site, I find a price of around $140.
1.) Do I have the right part? Is this the part that the belt sits on?

(Middle part in this photo. They want $269 for all three pieces here.)
2.) Why is it so much money compared to say, an idler pulley?
3.) I think it is the bearings that are bad. Is there some way to just replace the bearings and save some money?
TIA
