My wife did the exact same thing to my truck.... seized that idler and chewed up the belt.... she didn't eat it however

I only replaced the idler and belt, not the tensioner

Rotten little bedwetter is wedged in the Power Steering Pump Pulley. Don't suppose there's an easy trick to pulling that pulley off...?
