Default Quick question

About to go install my underdrive pulleys, got them about a month ago but i figured i can just not put the alternator pulley on sincei t doesnt give any power anyway. ( my alt is kinda bad )

Do i need a special tool to hold the pulley? OR can i just do it the pain in the *** way and do it with normal tools and hold them myself

Put it on unless you want charging problems.

ive always recommended breaking the bolts loose while the belt was still on... but do not remove them until the belt has been removed. And like pro said.. do NOT install the alternator pulley.... be ready to measure for a new belt... yours will not fit

can you guys please tell me the point of MAC, FRPP, BBK and every other company spending a s**t load of money designing the kit with the alt pully if it is susposed to give you charging problems. cause trust me it's not so the stock belt will fit.
