I am doing a pulley swap, going 2.65 on a gt500 and I didn't buy the special tool, anything else i can use? Or anyone want to lend me there's for a couple of hours. I am in Ventura County

I have not done one, but from the look of it you could go to "Advanced Auto" or the like and borrow one of their "Front End Kits". They have a variety of pullers in their and I am sure one will fit.

That idea went through my mind, Pepboys has special rentals... I will check today thank you...

For a few dollars more you can get the proper tool for the job. Why take a chance on damaging your SC?

Good Luck!

Looks like an expensive one of these.

I would be more concerned with getting the new one on.

If you don't get a job specific puller, which is also an installer, you will be frustrated at best and really really sorry at worst. In my opinion, the best of them is the VMP as suggested by Snake Doc. If you're feeling ambitious, do a search on the install. Some really bad stories without the tool. But it's your car. Good luck.

The VMP tool is outstanding and worth the money. You'll probably need the tool again at some point, and there is always a 2nd hand market when you're ready to sell.

Good companion piece for the Advance Auto puller is the Harbor Freight installer.

Good choice. The pulley removal/installation is fairly simple with the right tool.

Good Luck & Enjoy the new power! :banana_hitit:
