im going to be going to a junkyard soon to be pulling for a serpentine setup for my motor and i need to know what all tools ill need to remove everything, i know ill need a harmonic balancer puller for the balancer, but do i need any other special tools for the pulleys or do they just bolt on or can i take them off with the brackets? help!!

 

If you plan to remove the P/S pump from the bracket, you will need a P/S pulley remover to remove the pulley first, as it blocks access to the pump to bracket bolts. You can remove the brackets, with the P/S pump still attached by disconnecting the lines. Be aware of the 15mm head bolt behind the P/S pump and the bracket there that goes to the block. The heads of the A/C compressor bolts are relieved on one side to allow them to be pulled out past the clutch hub. A few of the bolts attaching the brackets to the engine are hidden in recesses in the brackets. The bolts to the engine are standard size with 9/16" heads. the fasteners on the accessory brackets themselves are all metric with 13mm or 15mm heads

The balancer is not part of the crank pulley. The pulley attaches to the balancer with 3 bolts and the crank bolt. The balancer is the same as the one on your 86.

 

Might add that I'm pulling these off a 305/350 for my 350 Vortec. I messed up my original balancer so I'm going to pull the balancer off when I pull the rest of the parts. Aslong as I can just pull everything I don't care if the acessorys stay in the brackets. I just need all the brackets To come off

 

Don"t forget to take a few torx bits and extras. There is 4-5 bolts and or studs holding each bracket to the heads and block. There are also 1-4 solid metal tube supports depending on year and model of car.

 

Good luck how many thirdgens are in your wrecking yard.

 

the one I want is a 92 tpi car but it's missing it's hood and I don't know how long the motor has been exposed to the elements and it worries me. But the yards I go to are VERY plentiful of third gens.
