Default A/C compressor bearing

My A/C compressor started making a godawful metal on metalnoise and spitting out grease.

Using brute force and ignorance, I've managed to get the oldclutch and wheel off, but now I'm stumped. I can't figure out how to get the bearing out of the wheel or the backing plate off. Anyone have a parts diagram or experience who can help me out?

I'll try to get some pictures up soon, if necessary.

Default RE: A/C compressor bearing

Ok. So I got them apart. I even found the snap ring I pulled through. (Like I said, brute force and ignorance!) It turns out that the electromagnet part didn't want to seperate from the wheel part. Here it is somewhat assembled after I got the mess apart.





This is the electromagnet part. I don't think it was supposed to be pulled off. I can straighten it out, though, if need be. Can anyone here tell me if this is worth cleaning up and reusing? It looks like it was the insulating material that was coming out.



Here is the wheel part. I should be able to punch the bearing out with more ignorance. Does anyone know if it's worth the effort, or should I just replace the whole assembly?
