Well I got a set of AEM Pulleys a few days ago and decided to install em yesterday. I don't like ordering parts that I can't install myself, so I started looking for installation guides and what not, but couldn't find any. So here's my writeup for anyone else installing these later. Wrenches Needed: 10,12,14 mm wrenches, sockets and extensions 19mm for the PS Pulley 22mm for the ALT Pulley(if you do that yourself) The Kit: Comes with everything you need. New belts, pulleys, instructions, cool stickers and a replacement nut that you need to use. Installation: First, remove the negative terminal on the battery. Next, remove the alternator plugs and that plastic zip tie thingy. There are two, one requires the use of a 10mm wrench. Next to make things a little roomier, I removed the power steering fluid(?) and an orange plug shown in the picture below. After that, feel the PS belt and take a mental note of the tension for further reference. If you don't have a belt tension gauge, you're gonna have to do manual analysis. Loosen the 19mm PS pulley nut also circled in the pic. Next, loosen the PS belt by loosening screws located at 1. and 2. and then 3. You can just loosen 1. and 2. first, then remove 3. 2. and then 1. Set these bolts aside and the belt should be able to come off fairly easily. Just leave the old PS pulley on for now....don't want to scratch it up. Next, if you have an air impact gun, you probably don't need to remove the alternator, but I didn't so I removed it. Anyway, again, just loosen bolts located at 1. and 2. and then proceed to loosen 3. The bolt at 3. is the main adjustment bolt and will loosen the belt so you can take the ALT belt off. Take out screws 3. then 1. and 2. and then you can remove the alternator from the car. Be careful when you take out 2., there is piece that i on the screw that you can't see and if you simply pull both ends, it will fall into the engine bay. Look at the pic of the alternator with the screws and it's that gold piece that the grey screw screws into. Don't let it fall. NOTE: THE GOLD PIECE ON THAT ASSEMBLY IS SHOWN BACKWARDS. THE ANGLED PORTION SHOULD BE FACING THE OTHER WAY. If not clear, email me.
