Pulley Information
Hi All
I have just brought a set of light weight pulleys and am planning to fit them tonite. the set includes Crank, Power steering and Alternator puleys.
a coupla questions for you all.
1, Do any of the pulleys have reverse thread?
2, What are the correct torque settings for the pulleys?
Many thanks

None of them have a reverse thread AFAIK.
I found the best way to do them is....
Crank : Put car in 5th gear (6 if 6 speed
)
Could get someone else to put foot on brake too.
Use a long Breaker bar or a piece of tube on the Socket Ratchet.
Power Steering : Leave the belt on when removing the OE Pulley.
Alternator : I took it off, then held it in a soft jaw Vice to remove.
Fit the new one the same way, then put back on car.
With regards to torque settings, I don't know...
I just did mine up FT

If this happens, he may advise you that a wheel nut will suffice for a while to hold it back on again!
*he is actually spot on, but i really could not resist*
