the pulley is on!

off for a test drive!

 

take off the wheel and this liner that holds in place with 4 clips



pull it off

pull towards the front of the car on this to release the tension of the belt using 14mm wrench, u can see it got scuffed a bit






take off the belt

take off the pulley



gently get the rust off the ring and oil it on the new pulley

install the pulley, hammer it in with a rubber hammer



put the belt back on while pulling on the release tension thing

and ur allset






ill fix it up and upload videos once i have time

EDIT:

here is one vid:

 

can u come to cali and do mine for me? thanks

 

ahaha id suggest 2 ppl do it. but you dont need any expertise

if not air tools then use wrench with a really long handle and possible use the rubber hammer with it

ANYWAY, First Impression:

1. Always warm up the car very well, like very warm it up haha
2. Feels faster starting 3500rpm. Even my friend who i just gave a quick lift said that he felt the extra torque
3. Also the car a bit more responsive. However, the car also feels lighter which id assume is a cause of being more responsive
4. Exhaust sound a bit different too, a bit more deep!

 

Can you list the tools you used?

 

EDIT: Video added above



flat head screw driver to get the clips out from the liner

14mm wrench to pull on the the belt tension thing

I believe 22mm socket to remove the pulley

Rubber hammer to put the new one on

Torque wrench (150ft-lbs)

Air tools but you could use a wrench with a huge arm so u got more torque on it/you could use the rubber hammer

 

Can you take a picture of all these tools laid out next to each other?

 

Im back in college(50mi away) where i got no tools

did u watch the video?

just tell me what confuses you/all your questions and I will answer them

 

I DON'T HAVE AIR TOOLS

 

i think it'd be easier without em,

just use this wrench and a mallet!


btw i know my guide SUX i just dont have time now, ppl already waiting for me and im super LATE!

I will do my best to make it more descriptive tomorrow

 

The crank bolt was 22mm, positive. My breaker bar of choice if it had come to that: Yeah cheap Harbor Freight crap! You'd need a long extension too.

I was really disappointed that the new pulley's steel ring didn't even come with a thin coat of oil on it, we had to hit it with some scotch bright to remove surface rust.

 

Thanks for the build. I will be referring to this when I get mine in the next week.

 

i know off topic but STILL:


Officially the weirdest thing ever happened: 2 Kappa Delta sisters woo'ed me into their place to "just hang out"
