I'm away from my Haynes right now so I was curious if anyone had any tips or tricks to make it go easier. Is it as straight forward as undo the one bolt in the center and bolt on the new one or is there something else to it? I was trying to replace the pulley on it that seized up at the bearing and shreddded the pulley when I broke the bolt off on the pulley (weird though because the head of the bolt turns but the back doesn't but it won't come off just spins). Now I need to replace the whole unit.

Vehicle specs: 1991 Chevy C1500, 4.3L V6, 700R4. no AC, no smog pump.
