crank pulley

[Dperry]

does anybody know if you need special tools like a "pulley puller" for our cars?

i just got my MI lightweight crank pulley for my 2012 se and want to install it!

No puller is required. Once the bolt is out the pulley comes right off.

:bow: :respekt: CT you're a beast! Thank You for all the advice!

DPerry once you install please let me know how it feels! I'm planning on getting the MI pulley soon!

There's quite a few threads around here with removal/install strategies. If you have an impact wrench, that may be enough. If you don't, then you'll need a breaker bar and possibly have to fabricate a tool to hold the pulley (like I did).

strong rope, is the "tool" in question, tie it to the front control arm.

I'll remember that next time. I take a pair of pliers and put the handle in the pulley holes, and gently turn till the pliers stop it....lol. Not the best idea, I know, but it works :p

Subscribe! I want to hear what you think of it after it is installed.

sorry for the wait guys havent had time to install it. But today i found some time after work. took 15 mins to take off the oem and instll the new. the only two mods on my car are aem cai and mi lightweight pully. car vibrates a little more at idle as expected since theres no rubber dampener like the oem one. definatly feels like the car is lighter (less rotational mass). i noticed that the mid to high range rpm is were you feel the difference. im happy so no complaints. THANKS GARM! another great product.

awesome! After i install the tanabe axleback exhaust, this pulley will be my last mod that i will do to my yaris

[why?]

what why? that is not right.

So what does the pulley do? I know it is lighter, but is that the only benefit?
