Okay while looking to install my new pullies this morning I found that my NB has a clutch on the Alternator that the G/J's don't It will allow the pully to spin backwards. Also the G/J's are VERY much like the top of a strut you have a nut and a stud with a 8mm hex fitting. Anyone know how to get this pully off the NB?
BTW the pullies need a small fine tune. I have the Power Steering pump pully on there now, but it will have to be a bit oversized to fit the stock belt. The Crank will be 10% underdrive.

Does it look like your clutch on the A/C compressor pulley. The pulley on my alternator was about 2.5-3 inches in diameter and I used an 26 mm drive on an impact wrench.

Jorge no it doesn't You know how your ALternator pully had the middle pretty much dished out. Well on the NB it's filled with this clutch.

Won't it mess up your alternator cut off if you change the clutch/pulley? Anyway I had to use an impact wrench to get that sucker off, nut was tight.

I don't think so it's always turning, it's just so it doesn't turn backwards I guess. I was going to pull the alternator to check it out...just don't feel like doing it!
