After having the air bleed nipple on my alloy radiators side tank fracture during last weeks hills run and bodging it to last me through last week, I finally got around to pulling the rad to fix it (1/4 bsp brass barbed fitting tapped in now...all good!).

I figured I'd fit the underdrive pulley set I've had laying around collecting dust for 6 months.

Install went ahead pretty pain free, nice to see whoever made our alternators had some fore thought by providing a means to lock the alternator's rotor to break the pulley nut free.

Crank bolt was a piece of cake with a 24" breaker bar, engine locked by 5th gear.

The belts I bought were spot on (thank god!).

Total time for rad repair / pulley fitment 2.5 hours.....piss easy.

Worst part was bleeding the cooling system again......over an hour!

Car seems to pull a bit better down low off boost, steering has a little more weight to it (what I wanted).

Pretty happy with the whole job.

I suppose it's like removing 2 kg from the flywheel, everything seem a little crisper when driving.

Fun way to spend a saturday arvo!
