help installing asp crank and alt pulleys Is there a easy method to removing the alt pulley.. is it a reverse thread or standard... car is in 5th gear with all the belts still on... i am going counter clockwise.... do i have to use an air gun i dont have one.... plus i don not want to have to remove the whole alt to put it on... thanks

what i did to get the alt pulley off, since no matter how hard i squeezed the belt together even with vice grips it still stun, was take a small screwdriver and jam it in there to stop it from spinning. it worked, however when i pulled the screw driver out it was bent like an L and one of the blades inside the alt was stuck on the side and it wouldnt spin, so i had to use another screwdriver and a hammer to bang the blade back into shape so i would work again
DONT DO WHAT IT DID

That sounds like a very bad idea

I used a socket wrench with a torx bit for the alt shaft and a 15/16" box end wrench on the nut... worked great. The crank bolt, on the other hand, was tough to break loose...
