im working on a car in the junk yard and could not for the life of me get the ac pulley around the big center bolt. it hits the inside of the fender no matter what you do. i released the passenger side engine mount and it dropped down a little bit but still not enough. long story short im trying to install a/c on a car that did not come with factory a/c. so what am i doing wrong. it doesn't say muck in the book but to remove it.

Engine needs to be lifted, not dropped, to be able to get the pulley out.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

just another thought-
Festy and Aspire have different pullys
though i think the alt may be the same- no?Comment

I had this same problem, and removed the center bolt to get the pulley off. I lowered the motor a little.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

A Festiva setup uses a normal V belt and Aspires use a multi groove flat belt like a serpentine belt.Originally posted by 2jzkilla View PostComment
