Thanks! Pulley finally arrived from helpful German ebayer and upon fitting it, it appeared a slightly different size, there was no compressor 'snout' showing at the front upon which to fit the circlip. After removing and reinstalling several times and wondering how it worked without a groove for the circlip to sit in, I got the old one out of the bin to measure. Found that the snout of the compressor has sheared off cleanly around the circlip groove and was still inside the bearing
It was a bit corroded in the grove and quite thin so was weak and I was a bit aggresive.
Nevermind, what can I do, I just cleaned it again and used the strongest Loctite bearing fit and will leave it to cure overnight before continuing. The bearing was a good snug fit so it should be fine.
Hopefully I will get the car back on the road this weekend and the rain will stop for me to save getting wet.
I also ordered 4x upper suspension arms seeing as the wheels are off and the wheelarch liners removed.
