Lower Pulley Install. Day 1

[wizdawg]

Everything was going great. The alternator came out with no problem. Everything is out but the lower pulley/cage. I put a 1/2" drive breaker with a 5' pipe (that I bought at Home Depot). Started pulling and POP. I though it broke loose. But when I looked down in there I saw the head of the breaker snapped right off!! Unfortunatly, at that time all stores were closed. Will have to finish it up tomorrow. Any last install tips?

This thing is so old. My dad said he got it when he was about 16 (1970). It was part of a Montgomery Wards set. LOL I hope a new craftsman will hold up.

snap on 14mm allen, matco pry bar and a 6 ft pipe does the trick, do them every time like that

hey regis,

by the way, i will no longer need the belt you let me borrow. I probably put about 100 feet on it and about 30 mins of idling time. when would you like me to return it?

let me know if you need help... after spending about 4 hours trying to get mine off, I've become somewhat of a pro and can probably bust it off in a few mins.

first remove the 3 bolts on the Lower pulley assmb bracket, now turn clock wise, i believe until it pops, alot of guys say that they lay on there back and use there feet to push on the pry bar, i hope that helps also check this link out for help :biggthump
