What these pulleys do is rotate the actual serpentine belts, which, on this vehicle, operate the alternator, air conditioning, and power steering. On the backside, we have the same grooves to allow for our power steering pump belt to be driven as well. We have the same rubber separating our main section from the actual grooved portion of the pulley. As you can see, these parts are exactly the same, with the same center bore and keyway. Here we have our old part that we removed from our vehicle, and our new harmonic balancer, or crank pulley, from. Take the center bolt back out, slide our balancer off the rest of the way. Now that we've got it started, we can remove the puller. Our pulley's actually sliding off nicely. Actually, we don't even need to use a ratchet this time. Tighten up the center bolt by hand until they're locked against the back. Set the jaws off of the puller behind the pulley. This will prevent us from damaging the threads inside of the pulley. We can try to use a two-jaw puller with the center bolt partially installed. Because we have a plastic timing cover, we can't pry on the backside of the pulley without the special puller tool. Be sure that you hit this inner edge, because the outer edge is separated with this rubber bushing, and this rubber can become damaged if you tap the outside. Once the bolt is out, you may be able to tap back and forth on the harmonic balancer to make it work off.
We're going to have to remove it with an impact gun. Occasionally, you can grab these with a strap wrench or an old belt and vice grips, and break that bolt loose with a 19mm socket and a breaker bar, however, ours has been on there for a long time and isn't budging. Remove the 19mm bolt in the center of the harmonic balancer. Remove the belt from the pump side first, and then off of the balancer. You have to be patient, because you can only get a couple of turns at a time out of this one. That, you usually have to get at with a 12mm wrench. We'll also have to loosen this 12mm bolt at the pivot, up at the very top of the pump. Loosen that up a couple of turns to make sure that pump moves nice and smooth. You can reach this with a 12mm socket, a ratchet, and a good size extension. Loosen the tensioner bolt for the power steering pump down here at the bottom. Once the bolts are out, pull down, and remove the splash shield. This comes out with these two 10mm bolts at the top, which we'll remove our socket and ratchet. Inside of your wheel well is this little splash shield which prevents water from getting up onto your belt, along with road dirt and debris. With the vehicle in the air, either on a lift, or if you're doing this at home, on a jack and jack stand, go ahead and finish removing the lug nuts followed by the wheel and tire. We'll finish removing them when the vehicle's in the air. You just want to break them loose, about one turn for now. Remove the lug nuts with a 21mm socket and breaker bar. We are going to raise and support our vehicle to make it easier to access. Once the belt is loose, you can remove it from the pulleys, and place it off to the side. There's no need to remove any of this hardware fully. Make sure you have a belt path drawn somewhere on the vehicle, or that you keep track of how the belt was removed. Then we'll loosen the belt on our alternator and remove it. Loosen the 12mm bolt on the tensioner, as well as the 14mm bolt on the pivot point. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting by loosening the bolt with a 10mm wrench, removing the terminal, and hanging it off to the side where there's no risk of it coming back in contact with the battery. Here are the items you'll need for this repair: 10-21mm wrenches, sockets, ratchet, socket extension, breaker bar, torque wrench, hammer, pry bar, two jaw puller, brake cleaner, paper towels, flat blade screwdriver, jack and jack stands Open the hood and secure the hood prop.
