I just installed my underdrive pulley and water pulley. Unfortunately I didn't install the alt because it was getting dark and I didn't know how I should go about replacing it. Do I have to remove the alt? If so how do I go about that exactly. I can loosen all the bolts no problem but what about the cables that are connected to it?

Thanks in advance

if you can loosen the mounting bolts you can loosen the cables ;)

it may be difficult to get the alternator pulley off without an impact gun though..

So are ur saying I should pull it forward or take it off? I have an air ratchet does that count?

if you have the ability, leave the belt on it, nice and tight.. then try to loosen the nut. then remove the belt and install the new pulley

and enjoy your "extra power" lmfao ;)

and no, air ratchet won't do what an impact gun will.. Harbor freight sells them decently cheap.. i recommend picking up a 1/2" drive one

I was asking if I should take off or pull foward the alt not the belt to replace the pulley. lol

if you can get to the nut that holds the pulley on without removing the alternator i say leave it on
but having the belt in place will help you get that nut loose

I don't have anything to fit the tight space. From what I checked its a 22mm and there wasn't much room for a wrench or ratchet. So far the only possible hard part would be removing the cables connected to the alt. What is the best way to do that?
