UD Pulley

**The Silver Goat** · 03-06-2010, 02:55 AM

I going to install UD crank pulley and OD pulley for the alternator.
Will I or should I remove the radiator and the nose to ensure I get it proper access?

By the looks of things the short answer is yes.
I'm gett'in to old for this stuff.

yes it would give you ample room to take the radiator out,it will make our job so much easier if you also remove the front bumper cover,easy trick for that is to take three top screws,then two side screw,grab it by the fog light recess pull back and upwards towards rear of the car making sure you dont break those clips,also take apart the wiring harness right under the front drivers side headlight next to the radiator support,this stays on the front bumper cover and is the wiring to all the lights.

That's what I thought - I've had the nose off several times touching her up and reclipping the lower grid protecting the radeeator. The end of my driveway has short steep incline so if I'm not perfect everytime I back out or pull in a rub the bottom of the nose.

Also we do not have a radiator petcock to drain it, so do yourself a favor and buy a flush kit that is made to go in a heatercore hose, cut the hose going up to the coolant resivior and put it inline as close to the metal tubes that run across the front of the K member right infront of the crank pulley...this will make a lot cleaner job if you ever have to drain/ pull the rad again.
