My Air conditioner compressor clutch bearing is bad, possibly also the compressor bearing at the same end.

I tried to get the clutch off as Eric the Car Guy does it, dropping the unit down enough to get at it, then removing the pulley. However my pulley / clutch won't come off to enable me to punch out and replace the bearing.
Does anyone know how to get these apart?

Compressor Part number is AKC200A502,
Compressor Model is MSC105CF

Thanks,
Rick.

make sure you are pulling the nut off that holds the clutch to the shaft. but it may be everything is burnt up and compressor is bad plus you'll need the correct puller to do it.
