Can you just replace pulleys Individually?

Yes you can but they've all been on there the same amount of time so why take a chance, if one fails the belt will come off and and most likely ruined along with a chance of overheating the motor.

On my 03 F150 I heard one them when bought it so I just ordered a new belt and a new tensioner and idler pulley so it didn't have to worry about it again. I ruined a motor on one of my work trucks because of a failed pully on a 100' day so I've been proactive every sence.

That hub sticking out is for the pully puller to grab onto in order to remove the pulley and swap it over to a new pump.

Thank you for the explanation.

OP,
My 97 has not even 70k miles, but I have replaced one idler pulley and the belt tensioner from wear. Just FYI.
