Yeah, to get the 4 bolts off the stock water pump pulley, I FINALLY figured out that it wasn't going to happen by turning the wrench... I had to get the wrench on each bolt and spin the bolts out by turning the pulley via the belt, with the wrench oscillating against the motor mount just like a connecting rod on a crank!
You have a nice situation with that diesel in that your electrical use while running can be dropped to near zero.
I see you are all clamoring for more information on that alternator pulley... I turned a hub on the lathe and welded it on the pulley in order to mount it. I was meticulous with measuring so that it would all line up in the end, and it did. Guess I didn't have to design in lateral adjustment in my bracketry... I did so, so that it could be easily shimmed for belt alignment but it was dead nuts on the first time.
