I am tearing apart my S/C so I can put my new belt on, but i am having trouble taking apart the one bolt...the pulley w/o the rails bolt. Do u use a special wrench or something... I remember i put on pretty east but DAYIM...taking it of is a biatch.....I am stuck ..I bought so many tools and none of them seems to work. Anyone using a special tool like a snap on or something? Any suggerstions B4 I drill a hole to the sidewall to get to it?

I have no problems getting the bracket off the car with that pully still on there...so I haven't taken it off since I first installed it.

i think you mean the allen bolt behind the pulley .yeh its a b!tch to get off. if im correct you use a 4m hexball socket to get it off with a universal, i brought mine from snap-on.. you just have to take your time and be patient.. but ask jay25 he does this all day long...

I always removed the pulleys...it was just faster for me...i used a long open ended box wrench for both...

naw I meant the pulley w/o rail 19mm bolt, next to the alternator. I think I need an angled wrench to take that bolt off.Its in the worst place to wrench. I am slightly strippin it. I need to take that out so I can take out the washer that don't belng there. I got the metal pulleys which my friend who helped me installed it in the first place thought that a washer need to be there....oh well live and learn. Jay where are u great one I summon the S/C guru to help me...

Yeah, that's a pita to get off, you'll need a long extension and one of those little bendy u-joint deals to work in there. Also when you take it out, just back it out enough to clear the bracket. Don't take it all the way out. It's a PITA to put back in if you take it all the way out.

yeah..I used both angled closed wrenches and open... its strippin the ends...I am thinkin about lifting the engine higher for more clearence ...I think I might need a new bolt...Stillen will sell me the bolt alone won't they?
btw trace...when are u comin out again?

IIRC I used a 19mm open end wrench for that bolt. Don't worry about stripping the ends, it'll come off. The worst part is fitting that bolt back in if your hands are big.

I finally took that off and found some misc. problems that led to my belt shreddin. for one my friend put the wrong screw in...he put a regular screw instead of the flat head allen wrench...therefore throwing the pulley out of alignment. hmmm thats why I was gettin blet shavings on the side...another question is for all u guys with 2.87 pulley,are u using any gator back belts? my option is either the 070605 or the 060695....or go back to my gates 060703. any input guys?

Go to NAPA and buy a set of gear wrenches, that will speed the install of the blower by 2-3 hours. Dont believe me? ask any of these guys that have seen me in action: Max4speed, allgo, Mardigrasmax, maximarider. To get that 19mm bolt out grab that sweet gear wrench crawl under the car and get it out. will get it out in 5 mins. The rest here you have it the tool to take off that allen bolt behind the idler
