I'm going to install the PS pulley this weekend and I was wondering
if the bolt holding the pulley is reverse-thread.

TO take the bolt off, is it a clockwise rotation?

 

you need a special tool to remove the nut.

 

yes it is reverse thread, and that special tool is either an impact or a scredriver through the pulley so it doesnt spin and some strength, i just did this 2 nights ago not hard at all

 

Just wondering. I'm about to order some pullies as well. I plan to do it myself as i'm mechanically inclined. I was at Sears the other day and a salesman attempted to sell me one of those electric type impact guns (not air compressed). Would this get the job done efficiently?

 

ive never used an electric impact but i wouldnt waste my money, i borrowed a friends snap-on, to get that nut off just stick a screwdriver through the pulley and brace it against something and use a wrench

 

yeah if its a stock pulley u can just shove a big screw driver in the spokes to lockit and take it off, but when putting the aftermarket one on, i would suggest wrapping the p/s belt on it to hold it still and tighten it down that way. Cuz if use the screwdriver trick you'll probably mess up the pullley cuz the aluminum **** is soft.
