Is it possible to do a pulley swap on the SS without removing the blower? I know you can on the Redline but there is a lot more room under the hood on the redline than there is in the ss/sc. I believe you can on the redline with the pulley boys puller.

 

There isn't a lot of room there but maybe you can with some finagling. Why not just pull it off? It's only 4 bolts and some sensors.

 

If its the stock pulley, you will need a special removal tool, if you have a stage 2 or other aftermarket pulley on then you can just loosen the blet and unscrew the 4 screws holding it on.

I went to change mine last night, except when i put my 2.8" on the Mechanic tightened the screws so tight and added lock tight it wont come off.

 

I know you need a pulley puller to do the job, but i was wondering if any of them worked while the blower was on the car. I just took another look under the hood and realized its not going to happen. I had a redline before the cobalt and you defintely could on a redline. Much more room under there on the redline. Oh well. I'll suck it up and take the blower off.
