1) Pull the pulley with the puller. In two pieces, if required. :-p
2) New pulley
from B230F in with a drop of locktight and some good luck
3) Belts back onto all accessories and tensioned correctly
4) Degrease ATF lines and RHS of trans in search of leak
5) Fire it up and run it for a while watching for the leak
4/5 will not be done if the weather sucks. 1/2/3 will be done regardless.
If the weather is really nice/hot/dry, instead of 12345 I'll do 678910111213 :-p
12345 all done, except 5 was "take it for a drive around the block" and watch for leaks
was afterward, and unsuccessful, due to not being from the tubes I thought it was.
Though they are pretty worn by the bracket, and will need some padding with rubber
of some sort to not rattle and fail. I have to say, it was damn nice to drive it with the
power steering working and the belts not screaming! Almost like a good car! :-D
Current thoughts are to get it a WOF this Saturday coming. For that it'll need at least:
1) Some various small bits of rust tidied up and hidden/fixed.
2) ATF leak fixed or at least disguised long enough to get the WOF
3) Waterblast various bits to remove loose crap and lichen and so forth (entire outside, parts of engine bay, underneath in places)
4) Front sway bar end links, pull rubbers from caravan front end links and install as temp fix
5) Vacuum interior and boot
6) Degrease engine and transmission fully so it at least looks neat and tidy
Not sure what else. That should be it?
Water blasting may incite anger from my loving neighbour, though. Hmmm.
I know! I'll do it in the morning before I go to work, and after he's already left! Win.
Tomorrow the Suzuki may need moving, though. Minor chores on that front, but we'll see.
Will try to focus on 1, 2, 4, 5, and maybe 6, and keep 3, and maybe 6 for a morning effort. Mu ha ha ha.
Then all I have to do is convince WOF man that I'm just going to park it and not drive it pissing oil everywhere... :-)
