Pully Install in Minnesota??

Does anyone in MN do pully installs? Or will anyone be doing them in the spring?

I have a pulley on order from Webb Motorsports. When it arrives I will be doing the install myself. The second time is always easier/faster than the first time. I live in Woodbury. Where are you located?

I'm in Fargo and would be willing to drive to a pulley party in Minnesota. It would be great to see an install before doing it myself.

I would be willing to host the pulley party. I have enough space to be doing two cars at a time. Maybe we could get Randy to attend.....

I think there is a service tech at Motorwerks Mini in Bloomington who does pulley installs. Not through the dealership but on his own time. I haven't done this myself but I asked the SA at the dealer if they would install an aftermarket pulley and she recommended the tech. Maybe he would do a pulley party?

If you have all the required tool, I think it is possible to install a pulley yourself...

It involves time and a lot of bolts to remove, but all in all, it is not as involving as it may sound... Just get the pulley tool to remove the stock one, and be sure to lock that belt tensioner...

You can always ask Randy or Erik (Helix) if you need any help!

Both as great guys and will be glad to help you!

btw, Randy: I love your new intake.... If I did not have the Forge IC, I'd trade my Alta CAI for it right away!!

Got the pulley, exhaust and shifter installed. The pulley install is a piece of cake! Car runs great!! Looking forward to some suspension tweaks next.

WMS was great to deal with! Quality stuff with great instructions.
