Started to do my 8 rib conversion from Kenne Bell on my 05 GT,the alt pulley nut is a weird 30 spline thing that not even Ford has the tool for.Where did you guys find this tool or how did you remove this nut/bolt????

I had one left from my Saleen install... I know JDM has lots of them lying around - anyone who does Saleen blower installs will have a few dozen and you should be able to get one through Saleen directly - though I gather that could take a while...

FYI, if anyone needs this tool in the DFW area, I left mine with Manny and Ozzie at HPP.

33 spline tool

I found one,a shop up here installed a Saleen blower & the mechanic kept it.Did you guys know that the Volkwagon Golf TDI uses the same tool to remove the nut for its alternator pulley,go figure,i found pics & stuff on the net when i googled it.

Come to think of it, that OEM pulley was made in Germany if I recollect correctly!

I think that pulley is made the way it is so that if something siezes, like the shitty alternators from the factory, it won't break the belt! That's a guess though.

Here's what Sean Hyland says about the clutch in our alternator pulley.

"The 2005 Mustang GT engine has a 1 way clutch built into the alternator pulley to prevent the inertia of the alternator stator from flipping the belt off on engine overrun."
