underdrive pulley question

[kephj]

i have an 89 gt, when i go to change the pulleys will they all pop right off or will i need a pulley puller, and does anyone know how long it should take or if it's a hard job? i have a/c

Most pop off with alittle patience. You will need to use a puller on the power steering pump though. I thiiink thats the only one you need the puller for. It shouldn't be very hard, assuming noone used loc-tight on the friggin PS pulley like the dip****s who worked on my car last lol. Good luck.

since when does underdrive pullies include one for P/S pump? anyway they are a fairly easy install in order to do the alt your gonna need a swivel socket extension to zip the alt bolt off. and for the crank pullie you need to remove the fan/shroud to get the stock pullie off and the new one on and the water pump one is easy since you already have the fan clutch and junk already off.

I heard the tough one is the alt pulley, that may give you a problem the others should be easy, some people say that
you run into charging troubles or dimming at idle when you
change the alt pulley unless you have a 3G alternator........
but..........what do I know. You would be safe if you
left the alt pulley alone. Someone else may say it defeats
the purpose of the other new pulleys..... I say unless you got a 3G alt leave it alone...keep the pulley.....buy a 3G...
then put the pulley on the new alt .....then put it on the car.....but thats just me.

If regular underdrive pulleys are used charging shouldn't be an issue. I used to run a race pulley and that caused problems. My personal suggestion is to leave the stock water pump pulley on and only change the alternator and crank pulley. In fact, you can buy just the crank pulley from summit. That's the best way to go.

the headlight dim a little nuffin to worry about unless you have a huge system.
