i bought a kit here in Norway, see picture
the puller I see will work, but the installer (like the upper on the left in the Amazone kit) the thinner threads furthest out will not hook inside the shaft. Is it a wrong kit?
Pretty sure it is a multi use application.
In this case, cut the smaller threads off leaving just the 3/8" section. At least it worked for me with the kit I bought years ago from Summit.
This is good info to know...I'm gonna check out the Idler and PS pulley tomorrow...After reading this thread I may just go pick up an LS2 pulley and swap that out...I think the previous owner may have swapped out the bracket in my car for a later one....I don't know for sure....Can anyone confirm by this pic?
Can't tell from the pic. You need to look down by the idler pulley. This is the older, weaker one. Notice how it's open next to the idler pulley. Not sure why they set the photos this way, but they're upside down.
This is the newer one where it's filled in next to the idler. It's stronger, but I've been able to break them in a few instances.

On the ECS Novi 1500 kit this (on my 98 open) part of the bracket is cut away and a new bracket just for the idler pulley is installed directly on the engine. Sweet, permanent fix :-)
Succsess! Did the job today, and the pulleys slid right off and on without to much force. Learned how to assemble the belt at the same time. One little hickup, I took the car for a spin, and when back I saw that the belt had jumped 1 rib towards the engine on the SC. That is strange, since the belt had not jumped a rib on the balancer, and the belt runs from the ps pulley past balancer to the SC. Adjusted the ps pulley a notch out again, and no belt jump when reving to the revlimiter. I will see if it stays in place when driving next time, or maybe have it laser aligned. 15 min job to adjust the pulley, so no big deal 😁
