Bought an alternative one for my car that's exactly the same BUT it has a pulley for a serpentine belt and not a deep v like I need. So I took the deep v pulley off my primary alt to swap to the new alt..... and while trying to get the pulley off the new alt I think I stripped some threads on the bolt. Bolts off now though but the pulley still will not budge. I'm just tired of dealing with it and I'll gladly pay someone to help me out. Just need to get the old pulley onto the new and installed. Might have to rethread the new alternators pulley post. I have the tools for that just no experience. It's been a pain in my neck for awhile now.. car is rotting away and it's making me sorta depressed. It was my favorite car and my first car. Once it stopped running I gave up and bought a new car. I needa get her running so I can clean her and start enjoying the ride on the weekends... helllpp

Run that alt and pulley down to a good local shop and have them swap it for you, easy job for them. If you were closer id do it for nothingNo need for free labor! Just lookin for help on something I'm pretty inexperienced on. Everytime I touch car parts I screw something up so I just don't do it anymore. Can't afford to learn that way right now.
where are you at in yelm?I'm on 702 so more ROY.

But yeah you can probably borrow a 3 jaw puller from a autoparts store. If anything give it a a soak in some pb blaster just right on the shaft end and make whoever's life easier that's gonna pull it off for you. I don't know if I missed it, but did the threads get messed up on the new alternator? If they did just make sure you chase them clean or at the very least use a small triangle file to clean the threads up. And make sure not to use the nut that got jacked up otherwise it'll just strip out more/again

Everytime I see this thread I think of the scene in gone in 60 seconds with the stolen pump mobile. I think the same voyage.
