aem pulley install did search
If you can free up the PS pump and can remove the driver-side axle and alternator, it's easy.
You'll need an impact gun to get the pulleys off or a hell of a death grip to hold the pulleys.

you will need to loosed the alt. by usinn a inpact gun under you car. the ps pulley came off for me with a wrench. not to hard. the alt. pulley waas a bitch to get to though. and if you need to take it out, be ready to take apart some of your suspension. no it doenst mess up your timing at all.
hold pulley still, remove bolt, pull off old pulley, put on new one. the alternator can be gotten to, just undo the top bolt (tensioner bolt) then loosen the bottom bolt, move alternator towards block to give yourself room away from the fender well, then get a wrench in there and get another person on top of the car to hold the pulley still, if you can't do it this way, you'll have to drop the alternator. to do that, pull the driver side axle out, then undo the bolts i mentioned, then move the alternator aside, if you have to undo the 3 bolts holding the bottom alternator mounting bracket from the block and move the mount aside, then pull the alternator out.
i dont remember which pulleys are key'd on, but you'll be able to tell really easily. the other pulleys just slip on and you tighten the pulley bolt back down. re-instal and put belts on to tension you felt before removal of everything. then you are done. have fun

when removing the old pulleys, the first thing you have to do is loosen the belts. i think when i last did the pulleys on someones car, it came w/ new belts or they got new belts, dont remember. anyways, the way you loosen these belts is by the mount itself. its a pretty neat and cost effective way honda has on doing it, no tensioner. just loosen the bolts that actually hold the accessory (ps,alternator) to the bracket itself and you'll see that one bolt doesn't have a hole its in, but rather a slot it can slide back and forth within to take up belt tension. then do as i stated before w/ the pulley removal.
oh yeah, important step. before removing any belts, feel the tension on the belts as they sit in the car. then when you put it all back together, adjust tension back to the way it felt before. if the belt squeels, its too loose. if its too tight, you wont be able to tell right away but it'll eat the belt up and the bearings in the accessory itself. so just get it back to really close as it was before you started anything.
