Default UDP install question

Hey guys i am looking into getting the 42% motoblue UDP.

I know i can install this myself. at least at home, but i am living at the dorms and all i have is a small tool-kit I have in the trunk for basic stuff.

Can anyone give me the specifics on how easy or hard this is?

I don't know if you technically "need" one, but you should go to autozone and rent a pulley puller to make it easier.

you NEED a pulley puller. I'd also recommend getting a longer bolt, you use it to get the new balancer started on the crank, and then just replace it with the stock one.

yeah you NEED one i tried to pull the power steering pump pulley without it and well u can see it doesn't work....

(i know u don't pull the power steering pulley for the asp but it's a example of what happens with shortcuts.)

Yes sir, you definitely need a puller, use the collars to pull it (there is an oval side and a round side, use the round sound against the pulley, will make sense when you see it,) and the other tool is to push it back on(long bolt as stated).
