I would like to start offering alternator pulleys for the Cobalt's, does anyone have a stock one they would be willing to send me? In return I would be happy to ship it back along with a new aluminum replacement within 2 days. I will offer these in overdrive, underdrive, and stock sizes but they will be much lighter than stock!

Thanks,
Nate

 

i wish that i could send you mine. but i can't afford to have my car down. i would deff. buy one. someone just has to have one laying around. and if not have you thought about buying one from gm?

 

definitly subscribed....have you seen the hulk that is our alt pulley

 

the hulk? is that a company?

 

in other words.....our alt. pulley is very bulky and large like the hulk

 

have you thought about stopping by a junk yard and picking one up? ...if you dont wanna do that i might! lol

 

yeah i'll most likely buy one, but also can't afford to have my car down.

 

I've checked at all the local "auto recyclers" and no one has one

 

gayyy...i will see what i can do for you if nobody else gets to ya soon!

 

me too. i know the parts guy at the local dealership. i'll talk to him and see if he can get me one cheap.

 

I posted in your other thread about the stocker being clutched, I'm not sure if you can remove it without damaging it permanently.

The stocker is alluminum. We tried welding it once to try to spin it backwards on a turbo swap and it just melted.

 

Yeah, I was looking at it today, I don't see exactly how it comes off without damaging something, but I have a spare alternator that I guess I can experiment on.

Do you know the reason for the clutch?

 

Nope, I just know it prevents it from spinning backwards.

 

i was told that the alternator pulley for the le5 is the same as the alt pulley from the ld9 (z24) cavalier... in that case i have a lightweight alt pulley and a stock one. if u can find out if they really are similar ill send it to u.

 

still need this?

 

i can def help you i have a spare alternator laying around if u need

**** nvm!! i didnt realize emperor bumped an old thread

 

lol if he needs one still u should send him urs and send me the one he makes

 

Yes, I still need one if anyone has it...no one has sent me one yet!

Nate

 

Somebody please do this.

 

So the alt pulley for the LSJ is clutched?

 

retarded. wish i could help.

 

Yes.

I can't get it off, I've tried every reasonable method that won't damage an alternator, or i'd send one in. It has a huge allen key in the middle, i've hit that with an impact gun with no results, and you can't hold the pulley still from the outer ring due to the clutch mechanism inside it.

 

damn... good thing i didnt try ******* with it i guess

 

Yeah, and a buddy of mine who had an alternator go bad and got a rebuilt, had the pulley fall off. I guess either there is some trick to it or you need some massive tools. I will get one to this shop I use one day, if it can be done they will do it for me, all they do is starters/alternators, and they can rewind alternators to get more amps out of them and all other tricky ****.

 

i have an ultra grande hydralic pulley puller that might get it off but i really dont have the time to wait for a replacement. Sry nate
