check to see if the belt is cracked or hard. hard or cracked belts are prone to sqealing. also you can use a stethescope or screwdriver(the cheap way) to listen to the pulley itself. carefull not to get caught in the belt while doing this.

How do you stop an air conditioner pulley clutch assembly from squealing on a 1996 jeep grand Cherokee with 5.2 l v8?
This is most likely your belt squealing and not the clutch itself. Try some belt dressing available as a spray on from all parts store. If this stops the squealing you have a varnished belt and probably should replace it soon.

How do you get rid belt squeal on a 1999 olds intrigue?
You should not be getting belt squeal because it is a serpentine belt, and not a v-belt. The squealing is most likely a bad bearing in one of the pulleys. Whatever you do, do NOT use belt dressing on a serpentine belt, as this can cause more problems. I suggest you remove the belt, and turn each pulley by hand and listen for the squealing. Some, you may not be able to turn though, such as the crank pulley. They should turn smoothly, with no noise, or intermittent resistance.
