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 |

The sight line to do the pulley in the car is terrible.
To remove the alternator is even more terrible. Get a very big pair of channellocks to hold the pulley. Or, a large screwdriver with a square shaft can used in the notches of the pulley to act as a stop. First step is to remove the engine lid. Second, make appt. with chiropractor Attached image(s) |
