However, the lower double groove pulley has to be attached to the crank shaft (which to you press on the shaft as normal) How would I go about removing the factory single grove and replacing it with the double groove? Anybody done this before? Here is the webshots link for the pictures. http://good-times.webshots.com/album/569867634SqCRUHThe forsy pictures is the oem single I need to remove off the shaft ans replace with the double groove in the the pictures.

Go to AutoZone and rent a puller, tell them you want to pull the harmonic balancer off the crankshaft. They will rent/lend you the tool.It bolts to the holes on the balancer/pulley and there is a bolt in the center that pushes against the cranksaft and pulls the pully off the crankshaft. If the crankshaft has threads on the inside you put a bolt in there and it will pull the new pulley back on the crankshaft.
Before you start look to see if there is a bolt holding the pulley to the crankshaft in the center, if so remove it then install the puller.

I has been so long since I had fooled with the harmonic balancer I had forgot that the pulley is simply pressed down and THEN held in place by 6 5/8" bolts. I feel like a DOPE.
I simply used a large flat blade screw driver and popped off the single groove, pressed down the double groove and incerted the new bolts.
I must be geting too old for this stuff.
