Stuck idler pulleyHi everyone 👋🏼 I have been working on taking out alternator I am at the stage where idler pulley comes off. I have the belt off and the nut off the end of the bolt that holds the pulley on but can not get the actual pulley off. I've watched a zillion you tube videos and everyones pulley just comes off but nope it's stuck on. Any ideas would be appreciated

 

Probably a little bit of corrosion has seized it on. This might be an option. You should be able to rent it from an auto parts store.

 

what worked for me was buying a corded harbor freight impact and some impact sockets and let it rip for like 10 seconds. I also tried attaching a breaker bar to the bolt facing \ that way and touching the ground crank the engine and it will turn it hard asf. That way broke my breaker bar but might work for you

 

Thanks guys.
FInally got it off with alot of prying and hammering it was the bolt itself had alot of corrosion on it and had literally seized it to the pulley.
