Status update
1- removed R/H front tire assy
2- removed wheel well cover
3- removed ~2 lbs of dirt stuck between the cover and the rear area of wheel well
4- removed R/H side cover (belly pan already off)
5- disconnect the turbo intake to gain better access to pulley
6- remove serpentine belt.
7- removed bottom Compressor mount bolt using 3/8 air ratchet
8- While holding the belt tensioner pulley back I loosened the top Compressor mount bolt using 3/8 air ratchet.(second person needed)
9- With a long pry bar dis-engaged compressor from mount point.
10- using 3/8 air ratchet undid pulley nut and removed front plate.
11- removed the cir-clip ring.
**Now the tricky part. Trying gently to pry the pulley off with opposing pressure points and tapping the pulley with small metal mallet I stopped the job as a thunderstorm came in and it was getting dark. (My 19yr old son was my second set of hands and the work is being done just outside of my small garage).
Now for question.
I would love to use a proper pulley but have two issues.
First, I don't have one.
Second, even if I had one there is very little room between the pulley and the metal wall (compressor is sitting horizontal just to the right of its mount points).
I'm not sure where a puller hooks on the compressor pulley wheel. Is it on the diameter that rotates with the belt area or is it the metal plate in behind?
Thanks for any ideas
