Here's a photo showing where the alternator fan blades are that you need to be pushing (click on picture to enlarge).

I did my pulley last weekend - Littledaz's info is a good way to determine whether it's a pulley issue.

YOU WILL need a special tool to remove the pulley. I've tried it without it - it's impossible. (cannot purchase tool from anywhere else except Sealy Distributors & GFS). One part of the tool holds the alternator shaft stationary whilst the other part takes the pulley off.SEE BELOW LITTLEDAZ'S POST.

 

 

There is good news and bad news.

 

The good - the pulley is available as a separate part ( about
