I AM the random post master...bow down
Might try leaving the belt on so it adds more drag to the pulley and try getting it off that way. Shops use impact guns to get the nut off.

I take it you mean when you try to get the alternator pulley off?
Put a glove on one hand, and grab the alt. pulley while you put an impact wrench on the nut, should spin the nut right off. I've heard of alot of guys doin it this way.

You could remove the alternator and take it to a shop and ask them to take the pulley nut off....they should charge you little or nothing. It's also pretty easy to remove an alternator, just two wires and some bolts.

I have never see it come off w/o an impact. Like said Dan said take it to an auto parts store or local corner shop. Tell them you tried and you don't think they can take it off (challenge them) and what advice can they give. 10 outta 10 times they will do it for free just to see if they can. IMO I would leave the stock pulley on the alt or you'll notice charging problems at idle especially with the a/c on and headlights at the same time. I still don't use one and I only have the crank and wp underdriven. You will not notice any difference in hp w/o it.

when i did mine a friend had an extra alt fan so i just kinda wedged a flathead in there (i know not the best idea) and just took off the nut and walked the pulley with two flatheads

I swear my first time trying to swap one about drove me crazy trying to break the nut off. After several hours I took it to the mechanic on the corner gas station and he popped it within 2 sec.s like you said. I learned my lesson after that and that was 18 years ago.mootang said:
