That's great. I'm glad that it turned out so well for you.

Now you've got a one-of-a-kind truck that you know and built yourself. Nice work!

Go to autozone and rent the big tench. Then use a box wrench to lock the pulley from spinning. Otherwise hitting the nut real quick with an air chisel works really well

This is what he’s referring to, it’s an idi but similar concept.

I can't remember. Some have normal right hand thread.
So you'd brace from the other side of the pulley.

The PSD used right hand thread, while our IDIs used left hand thread.

True enough. There are some inexpensive fan clutch wrenches which are helpful, and also pneumatic sets which are great for stubborn ones. If you're feeling particularly wealthy Snap-on has a clutch wrench also.

I found that hydraulic line wrenches work pretty well also. You're looking for a 1-7/8" or 48mm that is thin enough to fit.

Ah, yeah. That's it.
Now I remember. I though my 94 was LH. Beat at it for a long time. Then thought, well I guess I'll try the other way. Lol off it came.
