Replying to: gonogo (Jul 24, 2008 9:12 am) I found that there's a special tool J41240 which has a crowfoot adapter for a 1/2" breaker bar for the nut and a pin spanner to hold the pulley. It's available for check out from Advance or Autozone Auto Parts. Replies to this message: gonogo (Jul 25, 2008 8:45 am)

Replying to: magnum1b (Jul 24, 2008 9:37 am) I'm too cheap to buy a tool I don't need.
#121 of 128 Alternate method by magnum1b Jul 25, 2008 (2:09 pm)
I was able to loosen it with a long drift punch and a hammer. Torgueing it properly would be difficult that way though. I did rent a tool (no cost if you being it back in good condition) from NAPA to retourque it.
#122 of 128 1991 S10 starting problems by usmctanker1 Aug 15, 2008 (7:44 am)
Hi folks, My 1991 S10 will not start. When I turn the ignition switch to start the vehicle, the engine does not turn over. Dashboard lights come on, but nothing else. This problem started a couple of weeks ago, but I would turn the key back all the way and retry, and then the engine would start. The problem has got progressively worse (increased frequency) until no matter how many times I turn the ignition switch, the engine no longer turns over. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Replying to: dunc2 (May 05, 2008 6:54 pm) REPLACE YOUR FUEL FILTER. I DID THE SAME THING AND IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO FIGURE IT OUT. WHEN YOU RUN IT OUT OF GAS YOU SUCK ALL THE CRAP IN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR TANK INTO THE LINE. THAT GOES INTO YOUR FILTER AND CLOGS IT UP SO YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL BUT YOU GET NO GAS TO THE RAILS. SEE IF THAT WORKS.   TOM Replies to this message: timothys1 (Aug 19, 2008 4:37 am)

Replying to: 98sonoma22 (Aug 18, 2008 11:57 am) See my situation would the fuel filter be the cause? Situation, while driving the security light will come on, the fuel gauge will move to empty and the battery light will come on. This occurs randomly. after a while the gas gauge and battery light will go back to normal, but the security light will stay on for a while then go off.    Also it will not start all the time, gmc nor mechanic cannot determine why. Last check there where no error codes but they thought it was a corroded ground cable. That did not correct the problem. 4 years and no one can help.
#125 of 128 S10 has BAD misfireing when cold by schuh8 Sep 11, 2008 (6:29 am)
I have a 2001 S10 4 cylinder. 130,000 miles and burns almost no oil. On returning from a recent trip (3000 miles) The engine began misfireing terribly when cold.    When I start it after it has sat awhile, it runs incredibly rough - sounds like its hitting on 1 or 2 cylinders only - barely enough power to get out of the driveway. After limping along like this for a few hundred yards it begins to smooth out and after a mile or so - it runs perfectly with no stumbling or misfireing. If I stop and restart while its still warm - runs like a dream.    I was getting a "misfire on cylinder 2 code. I replaced the plugs and have not had another code, but still have the problem described above.    Thanks for any help y'all can offer

Replying to: ksbast (Sep 29, 2008 2:40 am) For my problem - a change of plugwires cured it completely.   Bud Replies to this message: ksbast (Sep 29, 2008 4:15 pm)
