2 questions add water to batt remove alt pulley

#1 My AC-Delco 75 6yr battery will only hold a charge for about 2 days then dead. I cannot see any water when I look through the little window on top. How do I open it to add water.

#2 What is the correct way to remove an alternator pulley. I have underdrives arriving soon so I need to take it off.

Thanks Po-Z

Maintenance free batteries usually can't be opened. Hence the maintenance fee part.

And an impact gun will take the nut off pretty easily.

Take both to Autozone. They can load test the battery for you to see if its bad. They can also test the alternator to be sure its good as well as zip the pulley off with their electric impact gun.
