Pulley Swap need help (E-Force)
so I got my 560 kit from Brenspeed. So far I did the Boost a Pump, now I'm on the pulley swap. I'm doing the 3.5 pulley but can seem to figure out how to remove the stock pulley. Is there anyone out there that give me some tips on how to swap this pulley out??

PM sent - but I'll post it here too:
On my E-Force the pulley is held on with 4 allen socket bolts. They may have some blue loctite on the threads, so you might want to use a heat gun just to soften that up a bit. I never really had any trouble getting the bolts out on mine. Basically, take the belt off the pulley, hold the pulley using a glove, and use a long handle ratchet for torque leverage. You may have to wiggle the pulley off after you take the bolts out because of the interference fit on the snout. You can try lightly tapping the backside of the pulley but be careful, the pulleys are made of aluminum. Thats pretty much it.

Thanks!! I ended up figuring it out last night. I used a pulley puller for leverage than broke the four bolts loose. The hardest part as the initial break to get them loose a bit nerve racking trying not to strip or snap them. Than I used the puller to pull the pulley off. Its funny cause I was about to throw in the towel cause it was getting late than I gave it another shot than wham it worked so I continues and ran the new belt than installed the CAI and loaded the Brenspeed tune!! I haven't gotten a chance to drive it yet Im having issues with the intercooler pump so my front facia is removed. Edelbrock is shipping me a new pump hopefully that will fix it cause I check the wiring and I'm getting power to all the wiring on the harness for the intercooler pump. I should get it today hope I figure it out.

I upgraded my rotors and pads not that long ago. Last week I installed a SOS dual guage pillar with a autometer cobalt boost guage and a innovate AFR guage. Now I'm going to replace my clutch this week I bougt the excedy Mach 500 with the excedy throw out bearing and slave.
