Post Successful pulley install

put PSP's lower pulley on this am. in case anybody else dosen't know(as i didn't), you don't have to "bump" the eng. to get the torque converter to move to align the nut and the bolt with the metel strap/tool that is provided to "lock" the t/c up. just put your wrench on one of the t/c's nuts and move the t/c left or right until you have the needed distance. secondly, you will have to be stronger than i am(not) to break the old pulley loose. i tried with my 15' breaker-bar-couldn't. drove to sears and bot an 18" breaker-bar-still couldn't break it loose. called a neighbor(who builds ford eng.) and he was able to get the job done! he was kind enough to stay for the rest of the install. still havn't driven it yet--it's been raining for two days. was an easy install except for my failings. should have taken 1.5 hrs. appears to be high-quality stuff!
