WTF (alternator pulley nut)
How hard is it to get that damn alternator pulley nut off? I tried with an electric impact wrench and a small air compressor for the numatic one im going over to a friends tomorrow to use his big air compressor. But any other suprises i should be looking out for?

The one time I had to get one off I took it to an auto repair shop and they removed the nut with an impact wrench. Hopefully the larger compressor will do it.
Possibly a strap or chain wrench and a socket and breaker bar might work as well. |

when taking off anything with a pulley on it, its best to loosen the nuts while the belt is still on to prevent slippage.. once the nut is loosened then take the belt off and continue to take off the nut

no, you only need it for the crank pulley (assuming you're talking about UDP's). the alt. pulley comes right off...

spray it with some wd-40, then hit it again...
if all else fails, take the alternator off the car, and drive up to Advance or something and ask them to take it off...

use a wrench put it on the nut and beat it with a hammer, or have one guy hold the pulley with a towel and use an impact wrench
