for me that's the only upgrade that I was unble to install. I was one of the unlucky ones with a badly stuck bolt/crank pulley. Took me 4 hours to take the bolt out, but was unable to take the pulley out. I'd say spend $100 if you want to be spared from the grief. You may need to take out the radiator, if it's stuck, for more room. the install and tightening of the belt will take you about 15 mintues.

the price is only for the crank pulley install. Ya know, it was weird how I actually felt the difference in power with the crank pulley. The car pulled harder in acceleration. Also the stock pulley weighs a TON, in comparison (over 6 lbs), oppose to 1 lbs UR pulley. Lose weight, more power

Gotcha, well self install is worth a try, if you can't get the bolt and pulley off, you really don't have to do much to reverse what you have done and take it to a shop.

On a total side note, call me crazy but, since your in a Air Force Base, what are the chances of taking your Z out on a Runway with out getting grabbed by MP? Slim to none probably but, that would be fun.
