You will need an impact wrench,or if your car has a manual transmission,a 1/2 inch breaker bar.Rent or buy a pulley puller with metric bolts.Get some RTV sealer and go to work.March now makes a harmonic balancer crank pulley so Steeda or March would be worth looking at.

pullies are WAY too easy to install to pay a shop to do it.

Just installed mine in under 2 hours I believe, that's with taking breaks Definately get an impact wrench if you can.. they're so helpful either way. And we took the handle off the jackstand and put our socket wrench down in there to help with the crankshaft removal it worked out pretty good.

I had my local Ford dealer install them for $55.00. I think it is waste to try to do yourself for that kind of price.
