Got a reman alternator and the pulley and B-post aren't the same. Thoughts?
Got a remanufactured alternator today from O'Reilly's. Upon pulling the old unit I found that while the housings are the same the pulley is larger in diameter on the reman and the orientation of the B post is different as well. Is the reman for a series 5 or turbo? Should I just swap the pulleys and give it a go? It also doesn't seem that the B-post can be reorientated either.
Pictures can be found here.

should be fine, There is a good amount of flexability on tentioning the belts so personally i would try leaving the pully on there before taking the task of switching (ya never know what could happen lol, Murphy's Law and all)

Rotaries confuse me

Pull towards you. Then you can rotate it and push it back in. Pull it out the same way you would a plug from the wall.
My reman came this way too. You may have to switch the B posts also because my new one was bigger on top so my ring terminal wouldn't fit. However, they'll both fit on the alternator the same way.
