Hi,


Could you if you wanted, only install the waterpump pulley and the alternator pulley and leave the crank pulley off? If so, can you get the alt and water pump pulleys off with regular hand tools or do you need an impact? Thanks

You need an impact wrench to get off the alt pulley.
You can get away with just putting those two on, but most of your drag is produced by the crank pulley.
Hence if it stays on, you will notice very little gains for the money.
Its your call. You could just do those two and see if you can get a shop to do the crank pulley for you.

i agree with him. also if you just put those two on you will have more slack in the belt and im not sure how much slack the tensoner can take up safely. so maybe a smaller belt with just the two if tou have problems.
