Power steering pulley

Hi all
I thought I had a water pump on the way out but tracked the 'whirring' noise to the power steering pulley, do i have to replace the pulley itself or
is it a case of fitting a new bearing?
Cheers

silly question, but did you check your fluid level ?
f it is low it will make funny noises.

False alarm - it was the water pump after all so I bought a new one from BNT and will put it on tomorrow. ($85 kiwi for a new pump made in Japan, I'm a happy chappy
).
Footnote: I phoned Nissan and they didn't have any diagrams or listing for a power steering pulley bearing, BUT I did phone a p/steering guy in town who said there is a bearing in behind the pulley and yes it can be replaced. So all good.
