Idler Bearing on Power Steering Pump

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
Replied by facade on topic Idler Bearing on Power Steering Pump
As Scimike says, on the M13 the pulley is an assembly.
The centre (50mm OD) presses out and the bearing presses out of the outer metal "tyre" (80mm ID), so if yours is rusted away you need a new assembly.
Suzuki want hundreds for one, but there are aftermarket ones for about £60 and a decent bearing is around £30 with the trouble of pressing it in & getting the old one out.
Likely you can throw the metal shields away if you use a sealed bearing
Take a look at this video from 1:50, it shows you what you are dealing with.
If you are sourcing the bearing, watch the speed rating, it goes faster than the crank pulley, by the ratio of the diameters, I'd guess it will get to 8000RPM or so if you redline the engine.
