Alternator mounting issues
I am replacing my alternator, the engine is a ZZ4 with lots of dress up parts. My issue is that the old alternator had an aluminum pulley installed, slightly larger diameter than the one on the new alternator. Also the belt 25-7541 was always too loose for my liking. The mounting arm will not adjust any further and the alternator is all the way to the end of the slide mount. My questions;
How in the heck can I get the old aluminum pulley off the alternator and on to the new alternator?
Can I get a slightly smaller belt so I can cinch it tight with the alternator mounts?

My 97 C5 in drive i'm getting grumbling vibrations only at idle stopped in drive. Sounds like coming from at driver seat or just behind driver seat area. Mine is Automatic and has 89k miles. I wonder on mine alternator pulley causing this issue.
