That Which Is Unholy



Wow.  Need I tell you that when you put NEW bolts into
those pulleys, you douse liberally w/ anti-seize? 
They come off like butter w/ the special pulley wrench
and a 3/8" breaker bar.  But that is obviously *post*
mop-up (1st removal).

If you need any pulleys, let me know since we just
dropped a 1.8L that is getting picked over.
