1. Never hit it with a hammer, hoping to loosen it up.

2. Never pry on it and the cooling fan with a screwdriver.

3. Never fail to ask the professional, who removed the nut, to remove the pulley and fan too.

4. Never spend an entire night trying to remember how to put it all back together, then get your hopes up because your car fires up right away, then realize that your bent pulley (see rules 1 & 2) is fraying the belts.

So...yeah...I need a pulley and cooling fan from a 65 amp Bosch alternator. Wait...

WTB: pulley and alternator for 65 amp Bosch alternator

And, I need it ASAP. The wife is tired of me driving her car and leaving her stranded at home all day, every day. Anyone got an extra one lying around that they can pop in the mail for me tomorrow? Or, if one of you kind local souls has one, I can come pick it up tomorrow during the day.

Ahh - every day is a new learning experience. I suppose that by the time I get my second, third, and fourth w123, I'll know these cars inside and out!

Thanks guys.
