So my spare alternator has been dropped and the pulley lip is bent such that a belt won't stay on it. Ordered up a new one from MSM. What's the best way to get it off? Obviously, it wants to turn with the nut and I don't want to damage the bearings. Can I hold it with my cloved hand and hit it with an impact?

DOH, Oh ya, NASA don't require like some other clubs.

It's your spare, how about checking the one your using.
Call an autoparts store.

Otherwise, if no one comes up with it I may check when I get home.
I'm such a nice guy.

Don't know if specs on the overdogs are the same. ;)

Don't have no stinkin service manual.


PM me with your email I will send you the PDF. Its a big file So hopefully your provider will allow big files. If your going to do your own work as you seam to be doing you really need to have it. Also MSpeed has some supplemental manuals for motor and transmission worth having. Get them and you will be set.

Hold the pulley with one hand, blast the nut off with an impact. Pulley then slides off

Sounds like the range of a standard impact gun to me :)

LOL. When the FSM specs like that I just give it the "till it's tight enough".
