Alt pulley removal

[joekd]

Any tips for getting a stubborn alt pulley off? I have hit it with my air wrench for the last 15 mins and it hasn't budged one bit

I still have it in the car so that the belt is holding the tension but nothing seems to be working

Get a stronger impact. :grin:

I always give it a quick shot w/ an impact gun and that usually takes care of it.

I'm running my impact at a high enough pressure where it's causing the belt to slip and still nothing

Spray some penetrating lubricant on there, let it sit for a while, then remove the belt, hold the tensioner with a (gloved) hand and whack it again with the impact.

you need a quick inital shock to break it loose. I usually turn up the pressure and give the trigger a quick blip. If you just sit there and squeeze the trigger it just spins everything. Some are worse than others I've had a few that really lock on there good too.
