If I remember correctly, I had to remove the crank pulley to get to all the bolts. Just take the crank pulley off along with the ac pulley and then put the crank pulley back on and torque the bolts back to spec. Should be fine.

Do not use that pulley. Replace the accessories, not the crank pulley.

I don't recall exactly how it went together. But I know I did not take the crank pully off.

yeah i believe i took the four bolts off on the passenger side of the block and the bracket came right off. though my car was dipped into the fiery pit of hell and brought back out.
