Ray, as Bob already wrote, double check that it's actually the pulley
dragging on the body you hear. If it was due to the shaft being bent, you
would also see a very noticeable vertical wobble as the pump turned. If you
don't see the wobble, and the pulley is dragging on the pump, then likely
it's the pulley itself that is bad (or just possibly some casting flash on
the pump body).

Hardest part is getting the fan belt off. With it out of the way, undo the
three bolts (or two bolts and a nut) that hold the pump into the housing,
and lift the pump out. Take the two bolts out first, as the third bolt or
nut sometimes requires the pump to move away from the housing slightly.

The Haynes manual is a lot friendlier ...
