The pullies come off - no problems there. It's the bolt (not nut-sorry)
that holds the damper to the crank that's the prob.
As far as the the other stuff coming off, I was going by the Haynes Manual
by memory. I've since moved it from the garage to my desk.
I stand corrected, to some degree but- the manual says: "Remove Tensioner
pully" and goes on to say "Remove power steering pump mounting bracket and
set the pump aside. . ." etc.. . The alt, i was just going to pull a bolt
and move it out of the way for easier access to the cover and t-belt once
I'm in there. On closer review of the book it appears that Haynes is having
me anticipate more work than I should. As I said, I haven't done this
before on this engine.
As far as being a smart a.s.....doesn't matter much to me. I've made bigger
mistakes in life and faced harsher ridicule. Sometimes the written word
doesn't carry the idea desired- I'm just lousy at that. My apologies if any
goof I made (or will make) offends.
So, after all that,
how do I knock that bolt loose?

A good impact will loosen it or a large breaker bar

The serpentine belt tensioner has to come off, the alt and the powersteering
pump stays in place. ( they do not interfere) If equipped with A/C....it has
to be moved aside
