Thanks, all! Happy Holidays! (Edit) As usual, you all were right! Maybe if I'd've serviced this thing years ago, the cover/spacer wouldn't've been seized on there, and would've just fallen off, like the new one did! (This pic might show the spacer/bushing thingy better):1 point

Agreed. That step down in size is likely a bushing/spacer that is probably rusted in place and would probably come out if given the proper force.1 point

A press would make it easier, but you could probably make due with a bench vise. Use a socket to drive the bearing, and make sure you're putting force into the race you're trying to move, not through the bearing balls. (If you're pressing the OD into the pulley, press on the outer race, not the inner.) I'll bet the center spacer and dust shield whatsit would pop out of the old bearing and into the new one. I doubt you'd even need a press for that, should just slip out if it's like other idlers I've messed with.1 point
