Order from XLR8 or possibly HeelToe. They'll get you the right part.

just ordered it. thanks! Any tips on getting the old one off? Should i get some kind of break free or use a torch? Im at college right now and all I've got with me is a small socket wrench kit and no breaker bar..

Thanks

Some will say wedge the wrench and blip the starter.

I used this method. When it popped for me, I thought I broke the bar, extension or socket, sounded like a gun. But it was the bolt breaking loose.

jesus hope i don't ruin anything. Did you notice anything after you installed it?

It's honestly not that hard.

I had the stock diameter pulley and on my 6mt, the revs seemed quicker and getting on and off the throttle at low speeds was a lot smoother.

Some of it could be my mind trying to justify the cost.

I did this on my van...im not sure which way the engine rotates on the TL, but im sure it clockwise as well. If you want to make sure, mark your pulley and bump the starter and see where your mark is now. Good Luck

Just a heads up the UR stock diameter pulley is no longer available as a UR part. It is sold exclusively to Excelerate and manufactured by UR so you get the same quality but through an Acura specialist.
