Default Unorthodox Crank pulley install?
Any Unorthodox Crank pulley install threads out there? My search function isn't working.

If not, can you guys with it, or who know about answer these questions for me:

What tools are needed?

How long did it take?

Is it hard putting on the belts and such due to the tension of the belt?



Thanks in advance.

Easy 30-45 min install. Takes longer to take everything apart. Just follow the instructions on the page that the pulleys come with and you'll be fine. I had no problem removing the crank bolt with my dad putting the car into 6th (or something) and mashing really hard on the brake. Very easy job to DIY.

you need a long breaker bar with a deep 19mm socket for the crank pulley and about 150 ft/lbs of torue to loosen bolt

Yeah that bolt is on there something crazy. Need some mad torque to get it off and I recommended that you use a torque wrench to put it back on. I believe it needs 100 ft/lbs to get it back on. I couldnt get mine off because I didnt have a breaker bar or feel safe putting it back on b/c I didnt have a torque wrench. I got my pulley and my R/T cats installed at a local shop for $110 although I would have rather done it myself.

Just found out you can do it with a chain wrench and a friend. Use the chain wrench to wrap around the pulley and have someone hold it while you break the bolt loose.

That bolt is ridiculously tight. I broke a socket yesterday trying to get it off. I used about a 2.5 foot breaker bar and broke the socket. Oh well.

I think I'll go to sears and by a craftsman socket so when I break that one I can just return it.
