for all you 4gxx ladies and gentleman out there....how the f*** do you take the crank pulley off with the motor in the car? i have the new style crank bolt that requires a socket, not just a half inch breaker bar. |

first you unbolt and remove the complete tranny mount so its out of the way... second you remove the DS motor mount.. make sure u have a jack under the engine with a block of wood (so not to damage oil pan). once engine mount is out.. lower the motor till u can get to the bolt. Steve |

on a colt, i dont screw with the front/back mounts at all.. just undo the timing belt side mount and then the 4 17mm long bolts that secure the lower crossmember to the unibody... put a jack under the crossmember or a block of wood under the oil pan and use a lack to lower it down enough for you to get the crank pully to clear the frame rail. |

While the motor is down to do the pulley removal, reorient the bolt holding the alternator so it comes out the opposite to the factory. Trust me when I say that the next time you have to change an alternator, you won't be dropping the motor down to do so. |

Haha. Your about 2 weeks late on that one. I had to sawzaw the factory bolt off and go to the hardware store and find one close enough to match. Believe me I was pissed!!! Lol |
