After changing the bad alternator on my 96 Ram Pick Up a few years back with correct replacement, I threw a belt because now I realize the pulley that is on it is too small.
As when I put the new belt on last week, I can see it riding on the lip. It is up against the back of the pulley all the way, it just ran out of room .
Using a gates K070976 belt as was the last one. I rechecked compatibility and it is correct.

I can get a cheap enough pulley with the correct amount of grooves, but how do I get the pulley off the alternator?

Anyone do this? How difficult is it?

Thanks for the replies.

And if anyone has the right size pulley feel free to PM me
