I just got march underdrive pulleys for my 87, but I can't get the pulleys off the alternator or water pump pulleys, even tried a strap wrench and a breaker bar. but nothing seems to work. just wondering if anyone has any ideas, thanx in advance

Alternator nut will require impact gun. Water pump should be able to be loosened by hand maybe shocking them loose with a small hammer on the rachet or breaker bar while someone else holds the pulley still. It helps immensely to loosen them with the belt still installed.

I guess I misunderstood your question. I changed my alternator, waterpump, Harmonic balancer and all my pullys. I used March Pullys, they're great.
