Pretty easy actually. Remove belt, remove nut in the center of the outer clutch plate, outer clutch plate will come off. You may need to pry it a little. After that, remove snap ring, and pulley/clutch comes off.

Not a hard job. You will need a press to remove/install the bearing in the pulley. I found the bearing on ebay
