Anyone want to help me install something

Like the title says... Would anyone like to help me install a Perrin Lightweight pulley for my Impreza L. I would like to do it myself, but have someone keep an eye on me while doing it. Unstble recommended that we should do a how-to thread/article thingy. If anyone is interested in giving me a hand, please let me know.

TIA.

Hmm... That sounds like a good idea. I would like to get my hands dirty though, but I'll definitely take that into consideration.

Rau, have you ever installed a Light Weight Pulley for your "L?" Just wondering, I just talked to the guys at MPJ/Speedelement and it seems that it'll be a little more hands on than the instructions. Something about how an AT requires a little more work. Let me know. Maybe if we ever get around to doing an install meet, and there are 3 or 4 of us, it'd be a little easier.

i havent installed a Lightweight pulley yet, havent gotten around to getting my hands on one yet. i dunno... maybe it is a little different that installing one on a 5speed......

Yeah. I think there is something about how we would have to remove the radiator or something.

i dont think we have to remvoe the radiator. its the same amount of clearance on a 5speed, and we got the bar and socket in there perfectly fine. we did have an issue where we would turn the breaker bar and the crank would turn. thats when we ( as in Nick ) held the bar as i turned over the motor. i advise you dont do that
