There are 2 tools required, one to remove the clutch and one to install it.
Both tools run about $30 US each, and so does the bearing. So $90 US to do the job
The bearing is a 5908VAW in a SKF IIRC.

The needle bearing is internal to the compressor itself.The large bearing is the one that goes in the pulley hub.

After repairing the shaft thread I hurt during wrong using the clutch remover tool I used a metal saw and cut one thread and now the thread is okay and I used the clutch installer tool and works great ..
The pulley is now softly working and I adjust the gap for the clutch to 13"
Hope I can reuse now the old nut .. The jaguar link says it s metric thread do I cdm use another German nut .. I will find out
