Default Need a Little help diagnosing a noise...

Hello all.. I've been listening for over a week now what i thought was my drive belt squealing/squeeking... i figured i'd start cheap and get some belt conditioner and see what that does... did not change the noise at all... so when i had the belt off i figured i'd play with all the pulley's... they all spin with any noise... until i got to the water pump... and spinning the pump pulley by hand it sounds just like a belt would... Any suggestion to what i should do?? can the pulley itself be replaced with out doing the whole pump?? can it be lubed?

Thanks..

You have to pull the Water Pump period to change the Pulley and the Upgraded designs they have make a new water pump better. 14-17 bolts on the pump and pulling the fan shroud is all there is to it.
