The ps pulley will not turn free because it is pumping oil. Could be the alternator is bad. When you spin the alternator by hand there should be very little if any noise. Also the water pump can be worn and causing the belt ot squeal.

No. the flexibility sterring pulley is truly attempting to create stress, and as a result will come below stress once you're turning it by skill of hand. no longer asserting the flexibility steerage pump isn't undesirable yet would not sound like it. To accurately diagnos the subject you're able to desire to load attempt the alternator. additionally verify to work out if the pulleys are wiped out. You mentioned you replaced the tensioner and loafer pulleys. i'm assuming you replaced the belt already.

No, the power steering pulley has some drag on it because is trying to push fluid. Did you replace the belt? Does it squeal when you accelerate (slippage) or while it's idling?

No it won't turn as easy as the rest of the pulleys. The steering fluid adds some resistance. Do you have AC on the car?

As the other people have answered ,No the ps pully has restance due to it being a pump trying to push p/s fluid , your tentioner may be weak and not providing enough tention to keep the belt from squeeling under a load , or the back sid of the belt may be glazed and be slipping . i would recommend replacing the belt if the tentioner is good .
