dont worry, i know the routine of searching and i read the DIY by staticlag. but i got off all the pulleys except for the crank. i have the 4 screws out, and it is not coming off, at all. i dont want to bend or pry at it, for risk of bending the E shaft. so do any of you have any tips for me?

staticlag

place short block of wood on the pulley. Hit with hammer.

And........don't forget what I said about the plate behind that pully! I know you may have to knock the pully to get it loose, but try not to move that eccentric(?) plate. If it does come off.....okay, not that big of a deal, but make deadly sure you put it back on the same way. It's keyed, but give it a real good look.

chetrickerman

just the guy i was looking for. well when that pops off, what about the slotted ring behind it? that cant come off, cause it is extremely sensitive i guess. ok, now i have to go look for a block of wood. thanks guys

chetrickerman

haha, thanks man

staticlag

Its okay if it comes off, just be sure you put it back the way you found it, might want to put a piece of tape on one side of the toothed plate with an up arrow on it.

Just be sure to do the brake pedal reset and the "hold down tripometer" button while turning the car to the "on" position but not starting it reset.

chetrickerman

what about the 20 brake tap?

Mazurfer

You my friend.............are a real Picaso!

i did it just turn wheel lock to lock..........then tap brake fast until oil press sweeps half way........tap tap tappy.........a lil taparoo

chetrickerman

wait, so i hold the trip meter while turning the ignition on, and while still on, do the 20 brake taps, correct?

Mazurfer

There are two reset procedures, one for the NVRAM and the other for the KAM.

1) With the key in the off position, press and hold the odometer reset button and turn the key to on;
Continue to hold the odo button until the odometer reads "TEST" and then release.
2) Turn the key to off and repeat step one.

This will reset the entire PCM except the KAM which contains the sensor profiles amongst other things. You can reset it with the familiar procedure:

1) Turn the key to on
2) Depress the brake pedal rapidly 20 times in a row until the oil pressure gauge sweeps to halfway and back again.

Go ahead and do them both, it can't hurt!

Mazurfer

You blew it on that one Taj..............he wasn't trying to get the alternator pully nut off!

chetrickerman

latest report, the wood and hammer technique is not working. it still is on there. i assure you, i have taken out the 4 screws and nothing is holding it on. so i dont know.

and taj, WTF is up with torque gun?

chetrickerman

static? surfer?

Mazurfer

Go back and hit it at different angles and such. It will come loose eventually. Either that or you're gonna have to wait till someone else responds. I had to hit it a lot harder than I wanted to! Kinda work the block around the pully and hit from different directions both in and out.

chetrickerman

yea, i dont want to hit it really hard either

chetrickerman

ok, got the first one off

chetrickerman

and now the second one is off. YAY!!!

Mazurfer

Good! Now since I have f'ing TWC......I have to watch the game(or sort of) on NFL.com

Cowboys 6
Packers 3

staticlag

Yeah, it takes a pretty firm hit to get it off

chetrickerman

ok, so why are my DSC and TSC lights on?

chetrickerman

nevermind. i got it. just had to do the odometer button reset again.

well so far there are no gains, cause as it says in the instructions, it takes 5-7 days for the ECU to recalibrate and see the freed up HP. so i will let you know then.

thanks for all of your help
