3g clocking/ clock or counter clock nut thread
Tring to clock my 3g put can't get the nut off. I'm going to spray with pb blaster just wondering if retaining nut is counter clock direction or clock direction. I don't want to break my alternator, any other ideas. May have to cut off, thanks.
Got to go get some new brushs.

Yea one tool I don't have. Found a nice 3g and did not want to damage it. I was perrty sure it was counter clock wise but it just did not want to move. Might be a good idea to look into impact wrench for future use, thanks.

yep, an impact is the way to do it. There is no substitute for the correct tool.
There is a shadetree way to do it but lemme add a disclaimer: PERFORM AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1. Insert a screwdriver into the case to jamb the internals. Choose a hole next to a rib on the front case that has alot of "meat" and be careful not to damage its internals.
2. Undo the pulley nut using a socket or combination wrench. Yes, it will loosen counterclockwise. Want to smack it with a hammer? Do so at your own risk!
Good luck!!!
