will someone please tell me how to get this damn thing off.

 

A three jaw puller. You can get one at auto zone for like 20 bucks. if not find a friend with one or take it to a local shop.

 

rental shops also work for that... I rented one for like 5 bucks a couple years ago

 

thanks with the puller,
now another problem
i just got a high output alternator the other day and was trying to install the AEM
power pulley on it and it seems that the shaft is smaller than the pulley requires yet everything is the same as the OE "Denso", now i have a few alternators laying around and found that the older mitsubishi alternators off the d15 have the correct shaft diameter, i got the pulleys for the correct engine
anyone know whats up with this?

and is it possible to make an operational alternator out of the two different ones?
any help is greatly appreciated , since i will have no car till this is fixed
thanks
