Option pulley question
I've bought this pulley from ebay and I have read some threads regarding it's installation. Still I have some question about this pulley. Aside from the accessory belts, do I need to change the timing belt also when I install it or could I still use the one that I have on the car? My car only has 67,xxx miles on it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Talk to Excelerate about the belts. You'll need different ones...but all aside, wait till fuzzy comes in here. He should be able to help you to because he has an Ebay crank pulley as well.
I know that the two crank belts need to be changed.

Just take those belt numbers to your local parts store and the should (key word "SHOULD") be able to cross reference them to their brands that they carry.

you have to get the pulley removal tool from powerbuilt... it's like $35 and there's videos online on how to do it. i thought i was getting a deal on these option pulleys at 25 but looks like will have to spend a little more on the installation.

SO i moved to anouther DLR that does everything by the book. We get charged $35 a hour for labor cuz we work there. The labor they say on a V6 saturn vue 2006 (which is a 3.5 honda motor) is 2.5 hours, that sounds HIgh. I though it was a 1 hour job at most..
Does anyone how many hours ACURA or HONDA charges to replace a crank pulley and belts? I though it would be 1 hour maybee 1.5 at most ..I might be wrong. Any tech know the hours they do this job for or has anyone had it done at a DLR B4?
Thanks !!

I know it can but they go by the book and the book for GM says 2.5 hours to change a crank pulley on a Vue v6. If anyone know how much TIME acura charges to do a crank pulley that would be great. The tech knows its gonna be less then a hour but the BOOK says 2.5 that why I am tring to find out what Acura charges Time wise to do this.

acura charges 1.5 hrs for the pulley install. I asked them in person today. and I know the manager of the dealership.
NOT gonna pay them to do nothing for 45mins on my car.. SEE YEA.. i'll be more than happy to get reacquainted with the driveway for that price 150CAD.

Get the pulley tool and a long pipe. Im really surprised the starter method didnt work. I havent seen it not work.
As for your impact gun not working im not surprised. Most wont. Especially if your using a 25-30 gallon compressor and a 1/4 hose.

Was your breaker bar secured properly against the ground?
