Instructions for 15% to 17% pulley

I'm looking for some instructions on upgrading from a 15% to 17% pully. I won't need to remove the tensioner, but don't think I can get the 4 pully bolts out without jacking up the engine a bit. I did the 15% myself and don't think I need to go through all those steps again. Thanks.

There was enough room to go from a 15% Classic Alta to 17% Alta V2 conversion for me.

Great! Did you get to it from above from under the car? Looks like a real tight reach to me.

Just try to get to them without jacking and if you can't have the stuff ready to jack it if needed. You might also remove the well cover on the passenger side to see if you can get up there a little easier. Other than that, it is basically the same as you did it before minus the puller.

You can get at it from above but I removed the wheel liner to change belts and add a tensioner stop. I'm running a 1360mm belt now instead of the 1365mm-1374mm belts.
