    I attempted to change out my AC compressor clutch today. Ran into two problems.

    First problem: The pulley didn't want to come off, yes I removed the snap ring. All the videos I watched showed it sliding right off after removing the snap ring, mine was on there tight. I used a puller to take it off. I knew I might damage it, but didn't care because the kit came with a new one. It came off, but left the bearing behind. Any ideas on how to get it off?

    Second problem: The kit I bought:
    $52 A/C Compressor Clutch Assembly Kit Plate Pulley Bearing Coil 1667 Replacement for 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma 6cyl 3.4L, AC Air Conditioning Compressor Clutch Coil Auto Repair Kit
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWH2PWVZ has a smaller pulley. Are there two different size pulleys for first gen Tacomas?
