When the wife ain't looking put it in the freezer overnight & slightly heat the pulley then support the rear of the shaft & carefully press it on. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I read somewhere that I need to remove the rear case to be able to press the pulley on? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, I use to go thru the BS of disassembling the cases to change pullies, but found it far easier to go to my local AutoZone or NAPA, they'd have it changed out in lest than five minutes without pulling it apart, no charge (although good to grease the guys palm) and at times not even purchasing the alternator there....

Or block of wood under rear of shaft, then whack pulley on with hammer and soft block if you have to. Those rear bearings are not the most solid of units.
