Finally got bearing out today after a soak overnight with WD40.....new bearing went in just fine.....used some Loctite to make sure it stays in place...
Another option for bearing install would have been to put the bearing in the freezer for a few hours to contract.....and then slightly heat up the inside of the pulley evenly with a small torch to expand.... and the bearing will (should) drop right in....
Also old bearing was shot.....just plain worn out...... finish the install tomorrow......the compressor should now work......20180707_222908.jpeg 20180707_222918.jpeg
