2nd Gen LS special with a frozen AC idler pulley. Does anyone know of a how to video to replace the AC idler pulley?.

I have tried to remove the PS belt to access the pulley bolt but there is not enough clearance to get a standard socket and ratchet between the car body and pulley.

So is this the only procedure to remove the AC idler pulley as follows or is there a special tool that I can use?

Remove the two bolts holding on the PS pump and swing it out of the way without disconnecting the lines
Next I remove the bolt (#23 in diagram) holding on the AC idler pulley bracket,
Next remove the pulley from the bracket and replace with a new pulley.
Next reinstall the AC idler pulley bracket, and new AC belt and adjust the tension.
Finally replace the PS pump, belt and adjust the belt tension.

Has anyone had success with a standard wrench? The standard wrench i have can not access the head of pulley bolt as it is recessed from the rim of the pulley.

If anyone has removed the AC idler pulley from a 91 Integra, I could use your expertise.

The AC idler pulley bolt is not a standard hex head bolt. I appears to be a Allen or Star head. I need the tool spec, type and size to remove the idler pulley bolt.

If anyone has the correct tool information please reply..

Much appreciated.
