Well I took the advice of members and got an 8" pulley puller to remove my stock one. There is no way in hell that and 8" puller is going to fit with the radiator and fans on there, not to mention the claws don't even fit inside of the pulley. Maybe its because it a cheap harbor frieght one but needless to say it doesn't fit. What size puller did you guys use to pull you crank pulley an an A4?

the cheap ones will work but 8 inch is way too big, ask me how i know get the 5 inch, it works perfect.

Do you auto guys use an alternator overdrive pulley along with the new underdrive pulley?

not trying to steal your thread but what are the advantages of a UD pully...power wise? Also what belt would you use?

I use an overdrive for the alternator. It comes in handy in the summertime when the air conditioner is on high at stoplights.

I've never used an OD alt pulley and have had no charging issues.

I don't use an overdrive on the alternator. It's not charging very well at idle but it hasn't been a problem. I make it a point not to get stuck in stop and go traffic when possible though, my car isn't a dd.
