15% pulley tips advice for installation?
This weekend I will be putting on my new Alta 15% pulley and tensioner on my 04 MCS. I have the Alta puller tool as well. Any prep advice are appreciated. Should I spray the supercharge pulley and shaft with anti-seize or 10wd40 over night?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Good, glad you have the puller tool as it will make this job that much easier. We have a DIY that can help you HERE. We also have a belt tensioner DIY HERE. Let me know if you have any questions while reviewing those articles.

You got the proper spark plugs for the reduction pulley, correct? They are a necessity.
Other than that, it's a relatively straight forward job, should take you 3-4 hours as a first time. We have them down to a science and it takes us around 40 minutes.

Everyone who has ever had us install a pulley either calls us immediately or is ecstatic the next time they are in for service.

Got the pulley on and it works wonderfully! Even more fun to drive!
I attached images for future reference in regards to Alta pulley tool. I've been trying to find images of the Alta pulley tool in action and could never find one on the internet. So just for others to use as a reference I attached the images. from my experience.
