From my experiance with these, you only need the wrench's to get them off. Remember where they go.

Leave your belt on while you loosen the bolts holding the pulleys to the engine. The belt will help keep the pulleys from spinning. If you forget, as I have, you can usually tighten a c-clamp down "around" the pulley, so the jaws clamp down on the flat middle part, to keep the pulley from spinning.

Are you doing each mod by itself to get a feel for how it improves the car? Or are you doing them all at once?

I always use 2 seperate ratchets/sockets to tighten/loosen pulley's.

The center bolt on mine was 17mm, I think the others were 13mm??

I left the belt on, loosened, then took belt off, pulled crank off.

If you got the alt pully too, take the alt off, put on a vise, and use an impact and some chanel-locks to get that one off.

Hereing these good things on a driveshaft is making me want to get one.
