What?! thats way too much. a shop with an air gun can do it in an hour. RRM charges $60 to install the pulley

would i need anything to stop the pulley from moving if i use a impact gun? to remove stock and install new, after its kinda tight ill use a torque wrench.

or is there any tricks to do it, i have 2 sets of instructions so i can have my teacher help me, but i dont wanna *** anything up.

No. A good inpact will blow it off before actually spinning motor. Be careful though and then torque it to spec, I think 134 ftlbs.

i tried using an impact wrench (260ftp) and the bolt would not move. haven't try the breaker bar yet, can't find anything to hold the crank.

like Vasily said, my gun is rated way higher than that and i had trouble getting his off. mine was a peice of cake though ::shrugs::

if you have an extension on the gun, take it off. you lose torque over the extension.

nice job rhyzin. creativity has saved you a couple bucks in tools and gives hope to the other guys without an air gun.

hahaha... i love it. revs fast. still picks up and goes fine up a slight grade to 100mph in 4th with 3 people in the car reasonably quick. give me some time. i want to get a vid of the speedo. i have to wait for my sister to get back so i can use her camera.

so under a really unthorough review, thumbs up 3 people in the car and we all say we felt a difference. driving to Socal for the last SCLC meet, these guys have felt what my car did before with all of us in the car. driving by myself, way better throttle response, less throttle for the same cruising mph, etc etc. everything everyone has heard so far. for $100, this is probably one of the cheapest bang for the buck mods out there.

also, if i didn't lose some splash guard plastic clip thingies and tried to look for them, job could be done in about 1.5-2.0 hours with two people if you haven't done it before. it's a cakewalk.
