Question Removing Alternator Pully

I bought a RB dual belt pully. But i cant figure out how to hold the old pully still while i losen the nut. i thought would be a allen bolt there, but theres not. And again, how will i hold the new pully still to tighten it down without damaging it? How did you guys do it?

I have found this tool helpful (see pic)
OK, I'm in a mood. Try an impact wrench or GENTLY!
hold it in a vise.

start car. hold breaker bar firmly. slap onto nut as fast as you can. stand back as soon as it all starts flying apart.

I put mine in the vise...who cares if you mess up the old one a bit. The new one clamped down without the need for the vice, IIRC. I was surprised when the stock pully slpit in two, I was expecting one piece.

i'm sorry, lol.

could have been james. mine is sitting in the back of his house since i just sold it to him. if anything, you could bring over your alternator and pulley. hang out with us. joe and rachel should be there. of course james. i think chris is going out of town. might get paul over.
