well it doesn't sound like the crank pulley is the problem, as I don't have a v6 and by inspection mine looks fine.
But I did happen to get the tensioner pully off today, seperate from the tensioner bracket....without all the work. I also bought a new idler pulley and complete alternator...
Hey e24kgold, did you have the wicked noise were talking about? Why just the alt pulley and not the entire unit, as many say the issue is in the bearings, the "sprag" in particular.
Any way I have update pics here
