steeda sent me instructions with the pulley's. you will need a underdrive crank puller, either a big breaker bar or a impact gun to get the nut off the altenator and crank pulley. some how you need to secure the altenator to keep it from spinning on you. (i left the belt on and slide a screw driver in the alt. bad idea i broke some cooling fins. maybe a big c-clamp will work better) after that torque the crank bolt down, i didnt and one day i noticed that the crank bolt was loose on my car.

after all said i was done in 30 minutes. i give it a 3 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. there isnt a lot of room to work in if you use big impact gun.

while your doing that put the x pipe in too. 8 bolts is all you have to take off. some long extensions and a universal joint come in handy. and a medium length 17mm socket, not deep, or the short one. it took me longer to jack the car up then it did to get the stocke h pipe out.

Very easy...remove belt. Take impact gun and remove all 3 pully nuts.
Install H20 pump pulley/alternator pulley first. Get underneath car and use Harmonic balancer pulley puller and remove pulley. Install new bolt.(Oh and put RTV sealant in the key way slot of your Harmonic balancer pulley. You will see it....use alot. And viola! your done.

I've heard people say to leave the belt on because it will prevent the pulley from spinning when your trying to loosen them??? I tried to install my own and couldn't get one of the pulley's off so I paid someone to do it! ha ha

leave the belt on for the extra tension you will need to keep the alt. pulley and water pump pulley in place. high temp rtv is needed as well
