@brucey!
To get the P/S pulley off,you will need a P/S pulley puller/installer. If you got a mechanic friend maybe you can loan one. If not,well I forgot what I paid for mine but maybe harbor freight or something similar has them nowadays.
You can check engine twist ( torque ) by your self just leave the car in gear,stand in front of it and rock it back and forth. That's how I check for loose motor mounts.
About over revving protection: Today I had the engine out of a GMC Acadia and while playing with the alternator,I discovered that the alt. pulley is a freewheel! Only the engine can turn the alternator but not the other way.
I think they do that so when driven like morons,the belt won't chirp as the tranny shifts and bogs the engine rpm down ( and the momentum of the high revving alternator slips the pulley ) The point is,maybe you could use a freewheeling pulley like that installed backwards on your motor shaft so the engine could never drive the motor but the motor could assist the engine!?
