Default Birds nest under the hood

Hello everyone recently having some noises appear over the weekend, a slight chirping noise that seems to be emitting from the fan,belt or maybe even a pully. As you can probably tell I am having slight trouble diagnosing the issue, if anyone knows, or has an idea of where this maddening sound is coming from, it would be much appreciated if you could throw your .2cents in thank you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp6O...ature=youtu.be

Not knowing anything about what kind of Jeep you have, aside from it being a Cherokee, is not going to help any of us help you find what noise is coming from your drive belt.

There are 5 pulleys on the 2.5l 4, and 7 pulleys on the 4.0l 6. You already know where the sound comes from, in general. Get your ears closer and try to hear where that sound is coming from.

We can not hear it.

I don't mean it to be rude or insulting. Folks of all skill levels visit here and ask such questions, so I offer simple warnings to remind the experienced and educate those new to putting their eyes on an engine.

I have found the source of my chirp, The A/C condenser pulley bearing is gone, I have removed the clutch plate and snap ring, but I am having troubles removing the pulley itself. Does the pulley itself slide off or do I have to remove the condenser to remove the pulley, any input is much appreciated, thank you.
