well my car has no issues and runs just fine.im thinking he just lock the bolt just even more..or in which way you think he fucked up my car ???

did he blow-torche the crankshaft bolt until it was red hot?

no he just heat it up alittle bit.is my first time changing a pulley i didnt thought it will be this difficult i have asked many mechanics and they all say they need to removed the front bumper and vents ......:(

That mechanic sounds like an idiot.

well tbh im more idiot for letting him do that ....i just hoped i can removed the bolt .

take your car to a subaru shop, it looks like your mechanic doesn't know shit fuck all on how to work with boxer engines.

thanks man.its just that ive seen a few people here saying they took 10min to install and tought this shit is simple to do ,i guess not.

it is simple if you use the right tools and know how to use them.

is there someone in socal that has installed this please let me know thanks...

Have you called Perrin for advice?

Heating the bolt? That's the opposite of what he'd need to do.

Just need to pick up a pulley tool that will keep the pulley from rotating while leaning on it with a breaker bar.

I was able to remove mine by putting car in 5th gear and cranking on the hand brake as hard as I could. That bolt is seriously on there!

I ended up using my torque wrench to get it loose. It was the only wrench long enough to get the necessary leverage on the bolt.

I bet it had over 125 lbs of torque on it from the factory.
