Say, does anyone in the GTA have one of those alt. pulley removal tools? Mine is seized, I have a spare, but mu usual shop has up and moved.
I only need to use it for about 30 minutes.

It's for the clutch-type pulley, that screws on rather than presses on?

I'm in the west end, near high park.

I ended up buying one off ebay for about $15 (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250960658784) - figured since this is the 3rd pulley I needed, I might as well buy the tool.

As a side note, the DB Electric 200 amp alternator (also available on ebay) lacks any internal Torx/hex socket on the pulley shaft, making it all but impossible to use hand tools to replace the pulley. Luckily I have access to an impact wrench (electric), and was able to swap it out with that. I had to first spin up the stator in one direction then hit reverse on the impact wrench and fire away until the old pulley came loose.
