yea I just tackled mine right now. Great DIY, the only thing I would like to add on is loosening up that bottom bolt holding the alternator in. It allowed the alternator to pivot a lot easier. I wasn't to keen on beating at it with a rubber malet. That bottom bolt (14mm) was a PAIN IN THE ASS to loosen up. Once I got that off everything else was a breeze.

ps. if you buy one with adjustable torque, you can put the bolt back on with the gun too. And remember to use loctite. |

You might see if autozone has something like that (if they are in your area). They offer a free loan-a-tool program. You pay for the tool, then when you return it they refund your $$ 100%. I've used it quite a bit for tools that I don't often need.

They have the same thing at Checker Auto. I just used it for a set of strut spring compression clamps. |

I official hate the pulley. There is no way i can take that bolt off. I have snapped 2 wrenches and bent one.....
I have been to hardware shops and they dont sell breaker bars on its own. Im forced to pay a mechanic to do it for me.....arrrg all becuz that one bolt.

Well I got mine installed today at my favorite workshop
The mechanics had a very hard time taking out the crank bolt too, even with an air tool, but their solution was quite different (and crazy) One guy put a ratchet on the crank bolt and held it in place TIGHT Another guy then cranked the engine for half a second. and POP went the crank bolt... Don't try this at home, thought, it looked like a very easy way to break your arm in two, and cause much damage to the engine bay No driving impressions yet, though, I left the car there to check the alignment (it veers a bit to the left at highway speeds), and get a nice wash and wax inside and out

I picked the zpi pulley up for real cheap and decided to give it a go. I pulled it off lastnight because the noise was starting to bug me. I was getting a "ting" noise.....so it was removed.......I have pulled it off multiple times and put it back on with the same noise. lastnight i put the original one on and had no noise.
so no more zpi for me.

What kind of "ting" noise? Like when the motor is colling down? Mine definitley makes a whining noise if you listen to it. You have ot be outside the car though. It's really high pitch. Probably from the aluminum resonating from the belt friction. I've looked to see if it has caused any issues and checked the belt tension and bolt. Everything is fine. It might just be a side affect of the pulley being aluminum.

yea its not really a constant tinging, more like a "ting ting".....and its very noticable inside the car even with the radio on and even worse outside. Its actually embarrasing having that noise come from a car thats 5 months old.........
im wondering if the nst pulley would be different........ but i actually think there may be a design flaw in the pulley somewhere....
