[QUOTE="Jgruggs, post: 4695299, member: 10810"] fella's let me tell ya, that was some work getting the hex head bolt in the center of the lower pulley loose. First, we thought that the bolt itself would come loose and back out....uh uh. It stays in the pulley and turns a bigger bolt that backs out bringing with it the whole assembly....the braces and one of the idler pulleys' with it. First , put the trans in a high gear, like 4th or 5th and set the E-brake. Then with the front of the car jacked way up , or better yet on a lift, put a long handle breakover bar on and put a cheater pipe on the end of that. Then pull with all you got turning it clockwise. Sooner or later it will break , and when it does it will pop all of a sudden and just about freewheel out , so be careful and don't break a hand. Going back with the underdrive pulley be sure and put the correct size spacers in the correct spots. The 2 spacers that are the same length go in the top and the longest one in the bottom and the smallest goes between the new bracket and the alt. bracket. The instructions show a pic. of where they go but not very clear and no written info on where they go. Other than that , really not that hard to install. The alt. pulley was easy to change, just run the nut off with a air gun. Changed it in place after pulling the battery and battery tray. Hope this helps someone else.
