Under Drive Pulleys...?

DEpointfive0 · 10-20-2012, 01:52 AM

I have the Stillen pulley because I WANTED 20% under driven... Mike at NST will make you one if you NEED NST... But in all honesty if you or your installer is component, there is no risk in running it... I've had it for 3000 miles now, and it feels great, I MIGHT down the line order a 10% overdrive for the alternator from Mike@NST, but as of now I don't see any reason

It took my mechanic 20 min to work out where the belts go (as I didn't have the diagram for it) then he put a breaker bar with I think 3/8" on the tensioner, moved that out of the way then took the belt off... Then he had this bitching contraption to put over the stock pulley with a torn belt over the stock pulley (to prevent damage) then he used a breaker ba on the bolt and once he undid it the pulley slid right off... Car had like 23k miles on it and was 3 years old at the time... And honestly I have no damn idea why the notches are on the pulley for alignment... I can only see it being necessary if you're rebuilding the motor
