Hello how do I remove the top altantor pulley from a car with the belt allready off?
Its the black plastic one the reason why mine got lumps in it and will need changing its not smooth. Ive seen one on anther car it spins like hell and smooth and the belt of the car.
But on afew other cars Ive undone the nut with a spanner but it tutches the body work and cant get it off the nut. But ive seen anther car and wandering how do I get it of but the belts of so thats one good thing.

I don't really follow what you're asking. Are you suggesting that when trying to withdraw the pulley on the car it is fouling on the bodywork? In which case you can either manipulate the engine on its mounts or take the alternator off altogether.
Or are you asking how to undo the pulley full stop?

The idler and tensioner have about 3 13mm blots each holding them on iirc. The alternator pulley has a fuxk off blot through the middle of it. Mine is an 8mm alen key but it varies.
