crank pulley

thats why i said use a grade 8 bolt, not a fucking screwdriver, you are lucky it didnt break off and go into your trans. last time I tried to remove one my 550 ft/lb gun wouldnt do it. breaker bars with really long pipes slid over them usually work the best.

I haven't had any luck trying to use the flywheel to hold the pulley. Last time I pulled the pulley off the z6 i stuck 2 bolts in the holes on the pulley itself, got a rod and wedged it between the bolts and the frame, worked like a charm. I didn't even have a huge breaker bar, probably about a 2 ft bar without a cheaper pipe.

well im not so much worried about getting it off im sure i could but i still need to know how to find a smaller belt.

To stop the pulley from turning put the car into 5th and have a friend press the brakes hard... the pulley wont move. I had to take it to a shop with a big impact to get it off.

To get the belt size take a string or wire or anything you can route around the crank pulley and the alt pulley, mearsure how long it is and tell the person at the parts store to get a belt that long. Also with the alts on the d16s it is on a slide so as long as the belt it tight there are a range of sizes that will work.

whay do you need a smaller belt??? just take the part number off the current belt, well wait ur buying a new one? right? cut the old one off (or losen up the altenator) and take it into the parts store and go from there. they should be able to get you a smaller belt if you really think you need it. or you can always throw a washer or two onto the altenator bracket and the belt should fit fine. that's what i had to do with my n1 ctr pulley. one washer and the thing fits.

uh who measures a belt?

Scotty has the best idea on measuring the belt. A string or something would work prefect, just measure the string when you mark it and take the measurement to the parts store and it should be real quick for them to get a belt considering they are all marked with measurements.
