i need to know how to take off the alt. pulley while the alt. is still in the car. I'm going to be replacing the alt. pulley with a aem one and i would like to leave the alt in the car if possible. Also this is for a DOHC ZC and i also need to know what tools are involved. Thanks

 

honestly your better off taking the alternator out of the car...its not too hard to take the alternator out...

 

how would i go about aking it out of the car? Do i need to remove the axle to get it out?

 

No, you don't need to remove the axle. Some people say that you can some how manuever it out from underneath, but I couldn't do it myself; so instead I removed the master cylinder from the brake booster in order to pull it out from the top.

Pretty simple.

 

you can pull it from the bottom...i have done it with a buddy of mine. just need to get jiggy with it and it comes out. Or you can do what MrTodd did i hear that works great too.

Sounds to me like your kinda new to the whole working with tools thing so i would say buy a helms for your car that will tell you almost everything you need to know about the car and what tools are needed as well.

good luck.

 

you take off the bottom alternator bracket and take it out from underneath...somehow caleb (flyboy) got it out of my car through the fender at n8...

 

Thanks guys. Yeah i really don't know how to work on cars that good but my dad and brother do so they can help me out. I will try to take it out from the bottom and see if i can do it that way.

 

Take off the lower alt braket and it comes out real nice. Anything else is really unnecessary.

Trust me.

 

Thanks guys
