the pulley wont come off without taking the 19mm bolt off tho will it?

so if i leave the rest of the pulleys on and remove the bottom one, as long as there mark shud be a easyish job..

That is a stock eccentric shaft pulley mate, the plate in the middle is to lock the 19mm bolt so it cannot come undone.
The pulley should run in a perfect circle,if it doesnt its damaged.This will cause loosening and tightening of belts which will make them squeak but most of all will damage main eccentric shaft bearings due to the crank being run out of balance.Thats the worst case if pulleys real bad, if its slightly bent then it will damage bearings over time but either will cause a vibration through the car when you drive it.Vibration will also depend on whether you have solid engine mounts,if you have it will be worse.Take the drive belts off and see if there is any play back and forth/ up and down in the crank.

Yes removing the 19mm bolt will remove the whole pulley.As long as your careful remove the 19mm bolt(if you can get it undone/very tight) and fit another complete pulley.Make sure you do the bolt back up to the same torque setting it was before you undone it.

Either way mate get it fixed first before you start driving it.

If you look at the pic from at an angle (the first vid pic is a good example) you can see it has an Underdriving waterpump/Alt E-shaft pulley with a stock power steering/Air con pulley one the end of it.
