You just get a small screwdriver and pry under it, and it comes right off the shaft. Well don't I feel like an idiot after wasting an afternoon to find that out.....So, the Advanced Auto one that I bought and took back was correct, even if the pulley was the wrong size. All I had to do is pull that spacer and swap the pulley.....Good lord!
The pulleys are different on the NA and the SRT as you know, also the connector to the alternator is different as well. The NA uses a Bosch alternator and the SRT uses a Valeo alternator hence the different connector. I believe the connector can be fudged to fit though.
