sorry dude thought we were enthusiast, and weekend was the time to play and work on our pride and joy hence the rush to get it done asap. Car is in bits on the driveway iv also used the search bar and google but not finding any info. Also I thought 10 hours was long enough to give it a bump also night times people are surfing the internet like yourself, board while the wife is watching casualty. Prime time post lol.

Just in case someone want to know in the future, it is possible to remove the pulley without pulling all the front end apart. They are 3 spline bolts and if you have slightly larger hands don't bother lol. Think the is to loosen the bolts while the belt is on the remove the belt, then undo them with your fingers.
