tension pulley VR

[sutto]

Have a small problem hoping someone can help me out with. I have a Vr and just purchased a tension pully from the wreckers. Holden had told me it needed replacing but the wreckers gave me the whole bracket which seems when looking at it that you have to take off the Alternator. I thought you could just undo the bolt on the tension pulley itself and replace it that way.
Thanks Sutto

I am not quite sure why you went to the wreckers - The pulleys are only about $25 new. Anyway to replace the pulley you need to be a little careful, you have to turn the centre bolt clockwise to undo (LH thread).If you screw something up you will need the bracket the wreckers gave you.

Anyway there are plenty of threads on this - Have a look
