All you have to do is use a jack to support the engine from the bottom. Then just swap them out. It should be pretty easy.

all belts, a/c, ps, and alt, then t cover (both ) i belive, because u can't get the socket behind the lower cover to loosen the bottom bolt *there is three*. So to remove the lower, you have to remove the pulley . But you can do it in the car with minor difficulities.

Good Luck

the crank pulley does...130 ft lbs, and the bolts for the mount, just get em tight and you won't have a problem. But, yes, they should be properly torqued.

Sometimes it will break loose, sometimes its in there like its welded....hopefully you get the 1st option.
If not what i do is jam something in the flywheel and break the bolt loose with a big *** breaker bar.

Yea 150psi should break it free. Are you useing an impact gun? If your in doubt just spray the bolts with penitrateing oil and let it sit for a few minutes. No you dont need a timeing light. If you decide to remove you timeing belt just mark the sprokets with something like white-out. That way if they move you can put them right back where they were.

Crank pulley only goes on one way. Be sure you don't lose the woodruff key! You'll see what I'm talking about when you get the pulley off. You don't have to take the timing belt off so you don't need to worry about that.

It's a small piece of metal that has a spot the it fits in on the crank and the crank pulley, just like on a camshaft to keep the cam gear in place.

It's just a small metal piece, it's either gonna stay on the pulley, the crank, or fall to the floor.
