15% to 17% Pulley Change

Can this change be done without lifting the engine again? Is there enough room to remove the existing 15% since a puller is no longer needed then slide in the 17%? Is it doable?

Might be possible, not exactly sure, would be tight though. I ended up just replacing the crank pulley with a 2% larger. Close to the same, and it is/ was a weak part on the early 53's.

It could be done, but would be much easier to just jack the engine up.

Since I already have a 17%wmw that's why I was thinking if anybody has done it before. Also health wise I cannot do all those jacking up stuff anymore and also avoiding extra labor cost to install the smaller pulley.

I switched from 15% to 19% without jacking the car up - not hard at all.
