Hey guys, I went to install a dual alternator pulley, but could not put on the nut with the washer in place. Can I go w/o the washer ? can anything bad happen ?
also, I down have an impact gun, so is it alright to tighten it as much as I can ?? help please, TIA |
You should use the washer because it's a lock washer. If you're not going to use an impact gun then stick a big screwdriver in one of the fan blades inside the alternator when you tighten the nut. That will work, but be careful not to break the outer housing.

hey thanks for the quick reply https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
I will swing by an alternator shop and let them at it. I got freaked out on my way home. I redlined for like the 5th time and the alternator was making a weird noise (humming at idle and gets louder with the revs). I'm not sure what it is since it is dark out :( so to clarify, if I don't use the washer: I just tighten the nut as much as possible with the impact gun and don't worry about it ? |

hey thanks again.
I wasn't able to get it in at the time because I didn't have much room to play with and the 22mm sucked (it was way too deep). Not to mention the alternatoe was hotter than hell (hot potato, hot potato https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif ) |

if you use half inch drive impact gun go lightly on trigger mine would break off shaft if i held it on too long. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/mellow.png
