    Hey guys, got my Al crankshaft pulley from RRM.

    overall, the mod is very very easy. but me being a newb, I was very hisitent about performing this. sorry for the crap pics, I forgot my digital camera, by the time I figured that out, i had the fornt tire off already, so I used my cellphone camera.

    Hey mods.....is this sticky worthy?

    Tools needed:

    5/8 box end wrenth
    22 mm head for the crankshaft bolt.
    oil
    jack stand
    jack
    impact gun ( need a force above 155 lb/ft)
    or some strong arms.
    a friend ( I found it to be a lot easier with a friend with ya)
    screwdriver both kinds

    Step 1: Take of the wheel

    Step 2: With a flat head screwdriver, pry out the black clips holding the plastic guard on. This will expose the crankshaft.

    Step 3: Right above the crankshaft there is a tensioner pulley, use the box 5/8 wrench and turn it clockwise, it has some spring force on it so when turned clockwise, it will loosen the pully so you take off the stock crank. unscrew using either brute strength or a impact wrench.

    Step4: Swap, dab some oil on the screw and screw it back in with.

    Step 4: Make sure all pullies are on correctly and are sitting in its correct seat.
    ( just to make sure I had everything right, I used a phillips head to take off the plastic bottle where the collent goes in to get a better look and fit my hands in there.

    Step5: start upthe car make sure everything is working right.....put the skirt back on, then wheel, use a star pattern to screw on the wheel , so its even.

    Step6:jack down, Rip it up.

    Anyone who has this car nows how slow first gear is, my first impressions is that getting out of first gear was much quicker. I was very surprised at the easiness of this mod, the only hard part was figuring out a spot where to put the RRM decal they threw in the box :D :D
