My wife just informed me that the pulley and blockoff plate arrived. Thanks banzai!
Is the pulley install pretty simple? Will I need an impact wrench? Will I need longer bolts? And any auto parts store should have the belt I need, right? Any specific numbers or or type or anything? Should I replace the other belt as well, or does it matter if one is new and one is not? And I was planning on using some gasket sealant on the plate. Let me know if I should not use that, or otherwise. Thanks! |
you do need an impact gun on the pulley, its about a 5 minute job that way https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
and yes use sealant on the acv plate, i also like to leave that little round check valve in there mike |
I would also recomend two new belts, so that way in case one is stretched out, there will be equal tension on both
|
thanks for the info
ok, in lack of a current source for an impact gun, I'm gonna go the hard way and try the big-bar-and-ratchet method...wish me luck! (hopefully I can do this tonight) |
Just take off the alt. Take to autone advance or napa. most of these have an electric impact gun for doing this. John
|
cool...that sounds like a better alternative
|
ok, since I won't be doing it myself, and I don't want the guy screwing something up: which way does it go on? does the recessed flat side go against the alt., or does the tapered-inward side face the alt?
|
ive always wondered what the advantages of this mod are
|
NO breaking alternator belts when the air pump, ps, a/c are removed. Really it's to maintain the proper amount of contact and drive to the water pump when the air pump is removed
|
ahhhh thanks
