HELP! Serpentine Belt Tensioner Pulley Removal

[LauraW]

The serpentine belt on my 2005 Aveo became loose due to a problem with the tensioner pulley. I bought a new pulley but I'm having a lot of trouble removing the old one. I got the two bolts off, but the old pulley is firmly stuck in place. Is there something else holding it in place that I've overlooked?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I took a loot at mine. That should be the only two bolts, of course all my plastic is removed. Is yours still in place? That can stop it. Of course a picture would help too.

Thanks, it's out now. It was in a bind. I needed to twist it pretty hard to loosen it up.
