Guys,

I shredded my strap wrench pulling on the nut to remove the pulley. I probably put 100+ ftlbs on it to no avail. Is there a trick (left hand thread, etc.) that I am missing?
Thanks

 

You need an Impact wrench.

 

Ok. I read that the impact wrench got it off this am, just was not sure it made that much of a difference.

Thanks for the reply. Will give it a shot.

 

You rebuilding it, or just replacing the pulley? Just curious.

 

Replacing the pulley. The stock alternator went out so I replaced it, but was not able to find one with the right pulley. The 90 amp had the larger pulley and the 120 the smaller. I needed the 120 with the larger pulley.

I figured just replacing the pulley would be easier and quicker than taking the ALT back off, returning it and reordering another from another place, assuming it would have the big pulley. So far I figured wrong, but will try your suggestion and see if I can get it.

Thanks

 

You talking about width (as in the amount of ribs) or diameter.?

 

Sorry...ribs. The one I need is 6 ribs, the one that came on the unit is the 4 rib model. They appear to be the same diameter.

 

You simply need the right alternator then. They did change the ribs through the years.

 

I'm thinking they gave him the wrong alternator. I thought these were 136 amp?

 

i think they are 116 stock with the option of 136... I could be wrong also
