Default NST sc pulley install ?

I searched around but couldn't find a DYI for the NST pulley install. I know its some what simple lose the tensioner and the belt should be able to come off and then take off the old pulley bolt and install the new pulley and belt and tight the tensioner. But what direction to turn the tensioner (stand in front) towards car or front bumper and whats the tighting specs? Any information would help. Thanks

make sure u have something to hold the pulley as you are removing the bolt that holds pulley, i used teh oil filter remover tool, wrap around the pulley to hold itfrom spinning.

while u stand in front of the car. Pull the tensioner bolt towards you to loosen it

Here is a pic of the tools i use to remove the bolt.
I used: sandpaper, oil filter remover (the strap type) and my 1/2 inch belt remover to hold the pulley from spinning
(i don't recommend using the belt remover, because they are really weak, I broke 2 of them)
Now i got myself a nice 1/2 breaker bar .

Took me like 4 tries to loosen the bolt the first time,
When u install it, just warp the pulley the reverse direction.

done

well i installed the pulley last week, I recommed using a 6 point 19mm socket for the tensinor.. the person who install the orginal kit almost stripped the bolt. Otheriwse everything worked out good, However I only seem to be getting around 8 psi i have the forge valve maybe the red ( i think)spring is to hard?

having the spring too hard won't make you loose boost, having one too loose may leak boost.

I had three spacers on top of the red spring in my 007. I was hitting 10lbs at red line.

The spacers may look like washers. They're inserted with the spring to compress the spring, which provides more tension. It's like using a stiffer spring.
