Hi guys,
After I threw my second alternator belt I decided to investigate a bit deeper and discovered that the pulley is cracked. See pic. Is it practical/possible to replace just the pulley with the alt in the car? I guess I'd need a point of leverage to hold the pulley still while breaking the nut. Or...is it better to bite the bullet and remove the alternator and repair on the bench? I suppose the third option would be to replace the entire alternator "while I'm in there". Thoughts/advice? Thanks! Ian  |
