Received the dayco tool and messed around a little over the weekend. Had lots of other work to do so I didnt have enough time but here is what I found so far.....My alternator pulley was too far forward. I dont have a thin enough washer so I will have to order a pulley shim kit. The power steering is out of angular alignment. Its sort of tilted back, the top of the pulley toward the rear of the car and the bottom of the pulley toward the front of the car. The shaft is not inline with all the other shafts. I wonder if there are inconsistencies i n all of these stamped steel style brackets or if mine are just tweaked? At least now I know what needs to be done.
One more strange thing is that the paint was worn off of the front rim of the crank pulley. I am wondering if the belt rode off the front of it by one rib for a moment or two. Possibly the ps pulley had something to do with it or maybe I installed it incorrectly once as I had the belt on and off a lot. Kinda fitting as the front rib is what separated from the rest of the belt.
Ollie, I had to shave the magnets a little in order to get the receiver to seat on the small diameter alternator pulley correctly. did you have the same problem with your dayco tool?
