I finally received my Steeda Underdrive Pully's and I thought it would have been much easier to install them. I don't have an air ratchet- don't have a harmonic balancer pull tool and I don't have a torque wrench. To my dismay, I have to take it to a shop to have it installed- does anyone know what a good price would be to have to pay for the install. I am so ashamed that I can't do it myself

bro heres what you do:
go to sears...buy the $20 pulley tool and return it when your done... then take your alternator off (3 bolts and a plug or two) and have a local shop or friend loosend the bolt with an airgun. and voillaah your done, it costed u nothing, and you can have the satisfaction knowing u did it yourself

You can borrow tools from AutoZone for free. You put down a deposit and they return it when you return the tools.

I paid someone to do it, I didn't want to mess with the engine area when I don't know what I'm doing
Cost $50.

Read the directions there is a specific method used to torque the crank pulley.
