Lightweight Pulley Install on Automatic?!
Frustrated, I have the GrimmSpeed tool but don't see anyway to use it with the stock pulley. Pulley just spins with car in park or drive so no Bueno there. Do I have to buy an OEM tool to get it out?? Also could get the alternator pulley loose with my 100lb impact.... This is turning not fun in a hurry.
Appreciate advice from anyone with AT Trans install experience. Thanks |

I don't think this will be appreciated, and I'm sorry, but as a guy who had one on his car. It was the most pointless mod I ever did. Couldn't feel a damn thing in responsiveness. If there was any The autotrans muted it.
I had a shop install mine, but they did mention it was a bitch to do |

I was able to use the grimmspeed tool as a wedge along with the 1/2 drive. Once rotated to where the idler pulley sits it came loose with the breaker. Alternator pulley finally came loose too!! Patience is key.
I don't expect huge gains from anyog the pulleys (5) but it won't hurt and should look nice |

There have been many people on this forum who would claim otherwise. I am not an expert on engine balancing and dampening, but I know several have had issues after installing various types of aftermarket pulleys.

I've had my Perrin lightweight crank, accessory kit pulleys on my auto for over 4 months, no issues whatsoever. It was a pain to get the crank pulley loose, eventually bought the removal tool from Rally Sport Direct. Two days later I had tool in hand. OEM part was easy to uninstall with tool, but the install of the Perrin was tricky. Wound up bending the bolts on the tool but I got it installed. (Air tools would have made it easier, but was concerned I would spin the crank)

According to the new service manual the crank shaft bolt should be tightened in a different way from 94lbf, the new way is 14lbf and than another 90 deg turn on the bolt.
I was wondering if people are doing it the old way or the new way ? I have AT and I am not sure i can pull the replacement the new way without some damage to the aluminum pulley. |

I'd avoid 14 + 90 degrees. My last car had a new torque spec like that and the pulley flew off after 20 miles. It's not enough just be safe with 94.

I installed a pulley because I thought it would be a good mod. The only difference I felt was the engine vibrated more. I took it off. |
