AC Compressor clutch noisy when not engaged

Just like the title says, the mag clutch is actually scraping when it isn't engaged...hoping it's just the clutch as the compressor is quiet...need any special tools to replace it?

It may just be the pulley bearings, not the clutch. If i recall all you need is a set of snap ring pliers to change it.

Nope, not the tensioner...I was actually watching the clutch flake off bits of metal dust as it was making the noise the other day....
