Sorry, what's X2?

Sorry

Times 2

As in multiplied by 2.

It's a pulley puller from Harbor Freight, around $70.

^Big a$$ 3 jaw puller too. What's the force that thing is rated to? Must be incredible.

Nice CA bushing tool.

It's the 5 ton unit.

Needed EVERY bit of it to remove the OE bushings.

Those considering a purchase should go with the 7 ton puller (around $20 more then the 5 ton).

Thanks for the info.

Most welcome.

Looks like my trusty X wants a new alternator for its 13th birthday :(

That's another of those joyful jobs down under :rofl:

When I had to tackle my alternator (after it seized upon shutdown and when restarted it shredded the serpentine belt) I was touching nearly 100k miles hoses, tensioner and belts so I made a Touch It Once project out of it all the way back to the rear engine hoses, heater hoses, heater control valve, tensioners, water pump, thermostat, idlers, fan clutch, fan and belts.

No more worries for me about any of those components in my ownership lifetime with this vehicle.
