How easy is it to install an alternator pulley? I know it's in a cramped *** space. That's why I let a mechanic install my AEM alternator pulley a few years ago.

Now I need to put the OEM alternator pulley back on and want to do it myself. I was reading over the instructions that came with the AEM alternator pulley, and it said basically to remove the upper and lower alternator brackets, then remove the alternator from the car, then remove pulley from alternator.

Is it necessary to remove the alternator from the car, or can I just access the pulley lock nut without removing the alternator (is there enough room?)

 

U may also be able to just undo the lower bolt, and flip the thing up enough to get clearance, But as easy as it is to pull the alternator out and put back in, id say take it off and do it on the work bench just make sure you make sure its all tight and lock-tited when you put it back togther
