Need help installing Crank and SC Pulley...

I'm am being shipped a WMS 2% Oversize Crank Pulley and a WMS 15% supercharger pulley.

I want to install them myself not only because I'm frugal, but because I want to have pride in modding my car myself.

Key word there is: Pride

I don't want this to turn into disappointment down the road, literally.

With all the laughter and joking, I'm really stressed out about doing it.

How do I do it? What tools do I need? Where do I get them? Is there anything I need to look out for while I'm doing it, ie "gotchas"? Do I need to do anything to the belt to get it to properly on so I won't run into problems later?

Me and a couple of buddies, who are pretty good with the wrench, were going to do this, along with a rear sway, and a V3 AGS.

PLEASE HELP ME!sad:

Mikey

WMS has a great write up on how to do the supercharger pulley on their site. It is also linked to under Perf Mods.

Highly recommended tools: BMW tensioner tool; BMW crank pulley remover; SC pulley remover

Don't use a pry bar. You could end up pulling the SC shaft out a little. Don't ask me how I know.
