Default a/c compressor squeaking

when i turn my truck on there is a squeaking noise that increases with higher rpms. i have finally figured out it is coming from my ac compressor. i put wd40 on it and it helped for maybe a min. is there anyway i can replace just the bearing? or do i have to replace the whole compressor?

Is this a constant noise or just when the clutch is engaged?

The last time mine made a constant squeal it seized after a few weeks. As son as the pitch changes expect to change the clutch and belt very soon. I wasn't able to find a new clutch, but found whole clutch in junk yard... Just replaced the clutch via loan a tool at A zone.
