What tools did you all use?

Show Stoppa FG1 · 09-30-2008, 11:57 PM

damn, um, socket wrench, flat head screw driver and a 3 foot pipe i found in my neighbors yard as a breaker bar, other than that, i really dont remember

Sorry for Double Post but Has anyone did this without an Impact Gun?

Show Stoppa FG1 · 10-01-2008, 01:13 AM

i didnt... hand tighten, and ive had it on there for about 3 months now i believe

08_Civic · 10-01-2008, 08:13 PM

Okay thanks cause I don't have an Impact gun and I just wanted to know if it was possible to install the pulleys without the gun. So Anyone else did it with out the impact gun?

r18lx · 10-01-2008, 08:53 PM

^ you can get a cheap impact gun... but if you have along pipe that u can use as leverage to easily remove the bolts and use a torque wrench to get it to specifications...

08_Civic · 10-02-2008, 06:00 PM

I really don't want to waste money on it because this is going to be my only time using it.But if i really need it then ill buy one. Does the pulleys need any special tighing? if not then Ill just unbolt it without the impact gun and do the same putting it back on. Think it will work?

r18lx · 10-02-2008, 07:10 PM

^ yeah it should be fine just get some type of pipe for more torque cause them bolts are really tight... then re-tighten them, drive then be happy!

08_Civic · 10-02-2008, 08:02 PM

^ Thanks man. That's all I needed to know. I don't want to buy the pulleys and not have the right tools to get the job done. Waste of time and money. So I was just making sure of things before I do it.

r18lx · 10-02-2008, 08:36 PM

^ just make sure you get that pipe trust me!

yifantasia · 10-08-2008, 07:37 PM

i payed 100 bucks for pro installation

Keep in mind though, every nut and bolt on the car requires a specific torque value. You DON'T want to just tighten it and hope it's right. Do the research and find out exactly what these torque values are. I'm sure NST might be able to answer these questions for you.

RCHamel3 · 10-31-2008, 02:46 PM

I def could not get the bolts off by hand. Me and a friend tried over and over and didnt move. So im waiting for my friend to get an impact gun that he has been planning on and give that a try otherwise go to a shop.
