Waterpump Pulley options...

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

josh,
    i've seen people use a vice/mini sledge + punch to 'crimp' the outer pulley to the inner
housing, effectively freezing the bearing solid. This is a tad cheaper than ordering pulleys.
as a side note, i'll have the pulley off of the twin here in a month or 2 (its a non-ac 8v right
now). i'll get the number then...
