Word dog, easy easy easy. Bolt out, bolt in. Might have to disconnect the p-side motor mount if the belt goes around it. I don't remember.

If you don't want to replace the whole pulley, you can pop the bearing out and replace it.

The bearing is a Timken # 203FF

That's for most metal pulleys only, I've never seen any plastic ones that were serviceable.
