• Actually,
    I remembered sort of what I had done
  in the past. I placed a deep 3/8 drive
  14mm socket in one of the holes. and
  then I spun the bolt out..... the 3/8
  socket jammed up against the
  Intermediate Shaft seal bolt flange
  and held the pulley nicely....
  
    So What is the specified  Torque
  for the Bolt that holds the pulley on..
  Thanks, Monst

• Select from one of the three:
  
  A) Somewhere between 1 and 1,000 ft.lbs.
  
  B) The same value that it came off with
  
  C) 32 ft. lbs.
  
  Yer choice, dude!

• Is retiming the engine faster or easier than pulling the entire pump housing, and separating the pump on the bench?

• If it isn't a waterpump I personally put together with anti-seize, I take off and replace the whole thing... those little bolts snap easily.
