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



and yes use sealant on the acv plate, i also like to leave that little round check valve in there

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

Baldy

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
