Well what a glorious day! I made a special trip to visit John and drop my stuff off so he could modify the A/C bracket and machine out the center of the pulley.....but I forgot the pulley!!!! AAAAGGGGHHH!!! He did however lend me the crank gear removal tool so that's good. I'll have an actual REAL update with some substance this weekend. And I think I'm going to do a small write up about this procedure as the overall process seems relatively easy as long as you have the parts.
