If you feel you must remove UR, just like the install- remove cover plate of trans flex plate/flywheel- the plate with the teeth gears on the outer edge-
stick a prybar in there and tell friend to hold on tight!

Pretty much this is the way. M/T customers can actually stick it in 6th gear and then have someone press the brakes hard. Sometimes that is enough. On an A/T you will have to find the service port and hold the flex plate in place in order to loosen the bolt. Or find a good impact gun to loosen the bolt. Sometimes a 1/2" drive isn't enough so you might need a 3/4" drive.

Best left to a shop with a lift and a big air compressor!

question about the Ur pulley, does it take any of the torque feeling away from the drive? Would you guys that have it say it is a must mod? Just curious because ill prob get one soon but i want to be sure its worth it! Thanx in advance!

don't know how anyone ever installed a ur pulley without the powerbuilt hextool
4 hours of failed attemps with impact wrench, impact gun, big ol' bars and alot of muscle... WASTED

2 mins online parts america... powerbuilt hextool

install time 20mins

It moves the torque band slightly to the left- giving a feel of stronger pull- especially in midrange IMO

Who would have thought!- Using the right tool for the job would be the easy solution~

eh? spec

Did you do it yourself?
Is it simply one nut... swap the pulley... put the belts back on... torque up the bolt. Is it that easy? I want to do this mod.

iTrader: (1)

if you have the hex tool... it is that easy... if you don't, lmfao good luck

you need a small breaker bar so that it can hold the tool... then you use a big breaker bar... I tried using an extension and it snapped in half... so I used a bigger breaker bar and just muscled it.... popped it right off

lol, your doing the pulley, dude don't even roll up your sleeves without that tool

thanx dude.....I think it will be my first mod after i get some tints.....I'm wondering if there is a big difference between the underdrive size and stock size.....I want to get a S/C for my tl-s if they ever come out with one.....

how pulleys do we need? do we need all 4?

JCL622

dude....it looks like you have SOME basic knowledge on cars, but there's alot you probably should read before you post. - this car has been around 4 years, anything you're looking for can be found in search.

and if you read this thread (ONLY 3 pages), you will realize we're only talking about 1 crank pulley and two different versions. 1 for non-supercharged/600+W sound systems, and one for em.

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

there is a pulley set offered for this car... there is only a crank pulley nothing else

as prior post mentions there is a stock sized lightweight crank or an underdrive lightweight crank

good luck on your modding

Dudes, if anyone's interested in a slightly used UR Pulley check out my 4sale thread in the BM:

A shameless plug, I know, but I though I'd give a shot to help you guys out, and myself LOL

Anyone know what socket is used on the crank bolt? And also, how much shorter is the new belt we need than stock. I bought the pulley, but forgot aboutthe belt. Is it one size smaller?

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

for the appropriate belt size see if you can either search... or buy the same one I used.... here is a picture of it



and I think the bolt is a 18mm

iTrader: (3)

The service manual says it's a 19mm bolt.

How much did you guys have to pay for one and where is the best place to get one...excelerate?

iTrader: (4)

excelerate ... mine is being shipped as we speak

dmb4325

what did you pay, i went to there website and it was a lot more expensive then i remember (now obviously its going to be more expensive directly through them but i didnt think it would be that much)

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

there's a seller on ebay selling them for like $110 shipped...

dmb4325

FOR THE 3G????? I thought I looked to get an idea of what they were selling for and I didnt see those on there???? I called excelerate they were 200 shipped!?!?!?!? I thought when I first looked at these they were in like the 13-160 range but I guess I just have to suck it up and go with it

My pulley will be installed tomorrow. For $60, I'm not even gonna get my hands dirty.

anx1300c

iTrader: (2)

^^Yeah well, it turned out that their labor rate was actually $68 and not the 60 they said over the phone. And it ended up taking them two hours, so grand total after tax was like 148. Not to mention, the mechanic got my car filthy inside. Plus, there was dirt all over the VSA button, so he evidently was out hot rodding it. I swear, every time I get an inspection or whatever, the guys purposely drag their filthy boots over the threshold and against the door. Anyway, I'm never going back to that place for anything. And the car doesn't even feel any different. Maybe I just have a dull butt dyno.

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

not to like get you angry or anything but $148... IS HIGHWAY ROBBERY

the tool cost me $25 shipped, toll and gas to drive to my boys shop was like another $15... oh and the cost for using his lift and tools... $25 which I paid off by letting him keep the tool... so that was $40 total for me if that... not to mention it was a learning experience

anx1300c

iTrader: (2)

Oh well, you win some and lose some. 2 hrs @68 plus tax. Over the phone they said 1-1.5 hrs. I suppose I could've done it with the help of a friend but didn't want to deal with the hassle.

bought the tool for 22 bucks at a tool shop here...install hopefully this weekend

Can someone post the Gates p/n of the belt needed for the pulley?

Thanks!

Thank You!

The cheapest I found for the belt is on Amazon.com

It's $24.93 and you get free shipping on orders over $25.

The trick is to add the belt into your cart, then search "Laurey Au Natural Wood Mushroom 1-1/4-Inch Diameter Knob #33401" and add the 66 cent knob into your cart to get free shipping.

melloyello73

jsl138 - thx for the tip. NAPA wanted to charge $40. Got them to drop it to $30 but it's still $5 cheaper thru Amazon. Can't wait to put on the pulley and reap the benefits.

jokerunm

Cheapest I found the belt without going to the internet was $27 from a trucker parts company.

I might have to go to a trucker shop as well, because I'm having a hard time finding a shop with a 3/4 inch impact wrench handy. Everyone has 1/2 inch and that's it.

MAC TL

Ok so i've read through most of this thread and tried to get whats goin on here. Im trying to learn myself a lil something so bear with me. Ok soo... if i get this "pulley" from UR which is the crank shaft pulley, it is a mod that will make my tl faster? .... sounds great.

Now, as i kept reading..... i noticed something that kinda threw me off. Accessories.... and how replacing this pulley may effect my accessories.... or something like this...

Now... i have a stereo system in my car that is way above 1000w.

Can someone please clarify if doing this mod will effect my stereo system.... even though i know that there is a seperate pulley for "accessories".. i just wanted to make sure and clarify

Second request.. please specify which pulley i need and what else ill need if im going to do this mod...

Please dont bang me for this, just tryin to get the right and full info....

Thanks

There's two size pulleys, stock and underdrive.

Based on your audio setup you'll need to stay with the stock size.

The underdrive is supposed to achieve a little more power by underdriving the accessories.

Good right up

I did this "blip" method on my 93 Taurus SHO more then once, but instead of putting the wrench to the ground (like on the mspaint diagram) I used a 2x4 for the socket wrench to pry against, cranked it, and success.

Of course this is a Yamaha motor not Honda, but same principle.
