Seized Pulley on PS Pump?

Seized Pulley on PS Pump?
Alright... so my power-steering has been kinda crappy for a while, makin noise, intermittently losing power, etc. I thought my pump might just be dying, or the belt was loose, or something. While I was burping the coolant tonight I looked at the pump while the car was running and I noticed that out of the two pulleys on the pump (left and right respectively) only the right one was spinning. The left one looks pretty rough and I couldn't even make it budge no matter how hard I tried. The belt just seems to be rubbing on past it, I know this can't be good for the belt.
My question now is, can I just get a new pulley? If so, where? Would it be worth it to try and unseize that other pulley?
If not, does anyone have a working PS pump they wanna sell me?
Ahh yes, S4 TII, if that makes a difference...

U can buy the bearing at NAPA, P/N P6203-2RSJ, ~$4.00. All idlers use this bearing; one pulley has a large snap-ring so you'll need snap ring pliers. Remove and hammer the bearing out, grease the outer part of new one and tap in. Make sure its flush and spins freely. Easy, takes ~30minutes to do all idlers.
