AC Idler Pulley

[ls integra]

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.

Use a wrench?

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.
