remove pulleys?

how do I get this lower pulley off for the supercharger. I tried to hold the engine from turning with the torque converter bolts, but they keep breaking loose.

Slap a ho That's why the torque converter nuts are loosening....., If this happens you must take it to the shop and get some help.




Playtime trolls are relatively easy to spot, but they may not be apparent to the naive user. There isn't a single set of characteristics that applies to playtime trolls, but you can look for some or all of the following signs:
a lack of buy-in to the list philosophy or values
generally low level of activity, with sudden spurts of interaction - or perhaps a new persona that has strong opinions on controversial subjects
a mixture of friendly posts with a confrontational style of interaction
the use of provocative language and sweeping generalisations about certain topics or categories of people
a lack of in-depth understanding of the topic
a lack of personal information
a lack of a genuinely unique perspective on the topic
a lack of humour

That's the engine stop strap that you NEED to take the stock lower pulley off...otherwise you can f'uck up the timing (so i hear)....just call a tuner and get one or take it someone who will do it for you....

Don't waste the time, or spend the money calling a Tuner for something this minor. Go to your local auto parts supplier, or muffler shop and pick up a universal muffler/pipe strap, the one with holes along the entire length, and use if like the device in the afore pictures. I did this when installling the lower pulley on my Lightning, and when finished, just toss it in the trash.
