Just wanted to get an idea of whos free next weekend for an install meet. The meet would be held at my place, my driveway or I might try and get a local garage, maybe the one from the prior meet or another for installs. Just would like a yes, no, maybe and what day is good for you guys. Also jot down any parts you might have that need to be installed, simple or large.

Do you have a complete set of pulleys or just the crank pulley? When I did mine I had a real bitch of a time with the Alternator pulley. Actually had to take it to a shop to get the nut off.

Scott I can help you out with all but the Clutch and Flywheel, that stuff is a little more tool intensive.

Add a big screw driver in your list to pry at the hanger bushings.

Instructions inshmuckshions. Torque settings = pretty damn tight with arm strength.
Pop out the plastic bumper pieces as the first thing you do, then uninstall the old one and put in the new one. I didn't have to cut anything with the greddy. Hopefully the MS is the same.

qtwre you are right....there really is no need to cut anything Andrew...and good luck getting a torque wrench under there......as tight as you can get them will do the trick.

I think the MS instructions want us to cut the 1" trim off the piece just in case it gets too hot and the plastic piece is too close, it will start melting the plastic. With the car up on a jack stands, can't I use a torque wrench?
Or perhaps a lift?
