Steeda's pulleys are great pieces. I paid $189 for them. The trouble is that Steeda doesn't tell you a few details. I had a friend do all the tough work. First, they tell you to put the car up on jackstands or ramps which is not necessary (maybe for auto trans). The alternator pulley is easy if you move the radiator overflow tank out of the way (easy). This allows you to get a straight shot at the bolt with the impact wrench. The real problem is with the harmonic balancer bolt. You need to remove the fan, disconnect wiring, in order to get a straight shot with the impact wrench. It wouldn't come off going at it at an angle. Next,we had the car in 1st gear and the bolt wouldn't come out. We put it in 5th and the thing came right out. The last thing is a washer that is placed in front of the crankshaft, remove it (Steeda fails to say this), before putting on the 3 bolt puller. You'll definitely notice the difference in performance.
