Hey guys
My alternator completely died on me so I bought a new alternator and decided to tackle it myself.
I got through most of the steps easy as cake, except for removing the PS (Power Steering) Pulley. I got the bolt off, but the pulley itself is on a bolt/screw thing that turns with the pulley itself, so I cannot remove the pulley! I've done extensive research on here and the only answer I could find is to hit it with a rubber mallet, but I wasn't sure I that was the way to go.

Seeing as to how there are no extensive DIYs on this subject by forum members, I've decided to make one while changing mine, yet I need to know how to get this pulley off first because the alternator gets stuck on it. (Just so I'm clear, I talking about the pulley right above the alternator).

So any help will be appreciated,
Thanks

Have you tried a pulley puller? You can rent them for free at your local auto store. I wouldn't go beating on a pulley...

Gabriel, I removed my ps pulley when installing my supercharger. Pulley puller would work the best. But I literally hit the back side of my pulley a few times with a rubber mallet and pulled hard and it slid out.
Good luck (i can give you a hand If you really need it)
