Default Installation HELP!

Just got the Unorthodox 3-piece pulley set, and a set of Helix Test Pipes... Was wondering what you guys thought about the install... Is it simple? If so does anyone know of any posts that would help me install those mods? Any help is appreciated!!!

Installing test pipes is easy. I haven't done the pulleys yet but it should be fairly easy as well.

the test pipes are pretty easy. get at the top nuts/bolts from the engine bay with a socket extender. also, wd40 is your friend during removal.
for safety reasons, i wouldn't try a diy on the pulleys unless you've done it before. kjr has instructions for the crank pulley on their website.

pulleys- take off bottom engine sheild, raise car up, take breaker bar and put on crank pulley,turn car on, (not engine), this allows engine to turn therefore losening the bolt on crank pulley. then rest is easy, remove belts, take of alt, and idle pulley! Then install the same way!!! total time = 1hr

Trying to remove Alternator pulley, but bolt just turns with the pulley! Do you have to hold the Alt pulley while loosening bolt (if so, with what)? My last option is to take down the Alt, but I dont want to if its not necessary!

Thanks....

For a air gun, there is alot of work involved. Take out fans, and radiator, drain coolant... so on. Its so much work that way, and alot of parts need to be taken off. The best way is the breaker bar. Just make sure when it is on the puley that it is hitting the ground so when you turn car on ( not engine) it will push against the ground therefore losening it. As for the Alt pulley, i just held it with a bar resting on the radiator support so it would't move.
