The tool to get that pulley off is frickin expensive! I just took my pulley off an hour ago to get my head off. The two places I went had them for sale for $100! I waited until today and borrowed my Dad's

Did you ever use it? I bought that one too but it didn't work. You need one tool to take it off and one tool to put it on. Everyone I used from an autoparts store was the wrong size or would break.

Awesome! If you say it works I'm going to get it. Who knows how many times I'm going to be taking off heads on this car.

I can understand your thinking.

I got a tool just like the one in that link I provided from a local place to me and it is so easy to take the pulley off and put it back on.
Like any project ...... the correct tool makes it easier & quicker.

teh one i got was a pian in the ass to use but it worked it kept wanting to fall off you have to have it just right
When I took things all apart I could see how I could get it all apart but I thought to myself ..............
It would be a whole lot harder getting it back together without taking the pulley off.
Its always easier to take something off than put it back on ain't it, lol?

Just make sure the pulley is for the newer Ford's (thread I think is 8mm). Got mine from Autozone for about $20. Peace
