We did an install last weekend....I held the belt as tightly as I could, while the second person torqued the wrench.
We found that if you use a screwdriver on the second pulley (the one with the three bolts), you can use the screwdriver as leverage when torquing the bolts. Wish I had better English to describe what we did, but I was told that this was a standard method for removing those bolts.
You'll find the same difficulty in re-installing.

All I did was grab the pulley with my hand and zip off the nut in like 2 seconds with the impact. It's not like holding the pulley with your hand will hurt, you just keep it from not moving. And if you're scared just wear a glove.

The company I bought them from said that the waterpump and crank pulleys are only hand tight (about 7ft/lbs), and the altenator pulley is 45 ft/lbs. The mazda matainence book said that the crank pulley is at 152 ft/lbs and that's way off because the bolts are only 8mm, so I wouldn't trust the picture of the altenator assembly being that high. I'm going with what the company said.

Hey dominion (or anybody else), do you know if a 245 40 18 tire would fit on a stock rim? I want alittle more rubber on the road. If so, what kind would you sugest. I'm wanting to go with the ones I have Dunlop Direnzzas DZ101. Kinda off topic but still...

Keep in mind the more meat you have on the side wall means more bounce back and can make your car wipout when you take a hard turn.
Anyway anyone have any other quesions about the pulley install? pm me or post up.
I just reinstalled mine. I had the plate behind it wrong. Thats why I had a flashing cel light p0300 but its a eazy fix.
If you have the flashing cel just reinstall the pulley. Pay attention on how the plate behind it is sitting. Turn in like 80 or 90 degrees the other way. Put everything back. Remove the battery - or red wire. Pump the brake peddle a few times till its hard lol
Reconnect the - or red wire. Turn the key pump the brake peddle as fast as you can till you see the oil gauge sweep up.
Turn the key back off and do this one; hold the trip button then turn the key to the on position and pump the brake peddle as fast as you can till the oil gauge sweeps and you see test where you miles are.
No more cel.
After the install;
Car wanted to die at a few stop lights. First thing that came to mind was great, my rear has bad compression.
Went to autozone they tested my battery its good, tested my alt its good, tested my starter its good.
I drove around for about 30 min shifting around 4 5 and 6k and the ecu relearned the new pulley.
No more dips in rpms where it feels like it wants to stall. Car pulls hella hard and feels great. Best bang for the buck mod yet.

Dominion, what brand of pullies did you get and are they the stock diameter? Mine are from SR Motorsports and they are the stock diameter. The instructions said that you have to pump the brake peddle 25 times in 8 seconds and that would get rid of the cel. You also said that it has to face the proper way, but why would that matter because mine is just a dual pulley that has 2 slots for the 2 belts and nothing to have to line up?

How about 152inch-lbs...or about 12 ft-lbs

i have a question regarding the crank pulley.... How do I get the pulley off (to install an AP Underdrive Pulley)... Is there a "pulley-puller" that is used to get the OEM crank off? Can I spray some PB Blaster to loosen the pulley up a bit? I want to avoid using the rubber hammer.
Thanks!
Thanks!
