How hard is it to install a lightweight pulley? DIY or take it to a shop? I bought one last thanksgiving with Z1s black friday sale and never get it installed.

Depends on how handy you are. it's not difficult at all, it's really just one nut. Basically you just jack your car up, loosen up your radiator core support and get it out of the way some, put a breaker bar on your tensioner and wedge it against the ground to keep tension off the belt, then break the nut off the pulley. Reverse for the install. You need to find a way to lock the crankshaft so that it doesn't turn, some people say wedge something in the starter.

Yea, not so sure its that easy. I've heard stories where they had to take a torch to the bolt just so they could break it loose.

I might give it a try, if I end up having problems with the bolt I can always take it somewhere and let them deal with it, that's what I did with demon bolt for the cats, they sure had a tough time with those.

Could be, definitely wouldn't surprise me. I did my Stillen pulley with about 30k miles in the car and I didn't have any problems. I just wedged a breaker bar into the stock pulley and lodged it against the ground so that it couldn't move, then I used another breaker bar and loosened the nut. Didn't give me any problems. If it does, I happen to have a torch. Between torches, impact drivers, breaker bars breaker bar extensions and pb blaster it doesn't have a choice. It's coming off.

Zoren speaks the truth, if you wanna take a trip over here I can do it for you buddy!
