Hi,
Why do you think a pulley is on its way?
The crankshaft pulley is accessed by removing the front drivers wheel then the wheel arch liner, its also best to remove the airbox so that its a bit easier to get to the tensioner; this will also allow better access to the top end pulleys.
Good idea to use either your moby or digital camera to take a pic of the routing for reference.
