Default Water Pump Pulley Crooked

Hey Guys. I needed to replace the fan clutch. Took off the fan and clutch, removed old clutch, cleaned up the fan, install new clutch to fan. Ready to put it back on and discovered the water pump pulley was crooked. I do know the 4 bolts to the fan holds down the pulley. Now my question is if there a way to straighten it out without taking the belt off?? Still learning here!![:@]

The reason why his pulley is crooked is because he took the bolts out of it to remove the fan.....he doesn't need a new pulley. Just needs to remove the belt so he can bolt it all back together.
