Anyone have the metalnerd alternator tools required for the pulley job that they wouldn't mind lending?

Found my tensioner strut pretty beat up and loose and shaking. Going to check the alt pulley but it sounds like I'll need tensioner+idler+alternator pulley to fix it up good.

I have the set, up north of you a good 40 minutes, but send me a pm if you don't mind the drive. I also suggest soaring on a creeping lubricant in the meantime, mine was a real bugger to break loose.

It came off fine, although I did take the alternator out of the car. Unless you modify the PA bit then you can't do it with that kit at least while the alt is still hooked up. Wasn't too bad, just some figuring and fiddling with the alt for the first time I took it off.

Ya you have to shorten it.
