Fred,
Really good stuff! Do you have information on the part numbers for
the seal kit?
I took the liberty of adding your post as a File for future reference,
in case you get follow-up inquiries.
Thanks,

close) A 1/2 air gun with 100 psi will get it off, but don't "rattle
on it" for much longer than 10 seconds at a time.

bolts,remove the bolts and the seal plate will come off revealing the
front bearing. Now remove the seal collar still on the shaft and an o
ring.Scrape the seal plate gasket off the alternator housing.Change
the seal on the plate being careful to press the seal in properly,if
the seal surface is dry apply a thin coat of grease an the
lip.Reassemble the oring ,seal collar and seal plate and pulley,
washer and nut,then the belt and re-adjust with the idler pulley with
the long adjusting bolt and you have now saved a lot of time and money.
