Posted by grod101, Oct-29-01 08:13 AM
Hey I just got my UDP today and was wondering how long it took you guys to install it. Is there any special thing or tool I need to do for this install. Any info will help out.
TIA...........

heres the hookup bro, hope this helps. it is a gathering of UDP install info that i have gotten from the board
Here’s the 10 step skinny:
1. Raise and block car, take off passenger wheel, unbolt plastic cover that you look at with wheel off. BAM, there’s the stock pulley!
2. Loosen alternator, AC compressor(if you have it), and PS pump. Take off belts.
3. Jack engine up under oil pan, just slight pressure at this point.
make sure you put a piece of wood on the jack when jacking on the engine. If you jack directly on the oil pan it can bend up. Put the wood so it lifts on the edges of the oil pan.


4. Apply more or less pressure to motor as needed to undo and remove motor mount on pulley side only.
5. Lower motor about 1-2in. (enough that the top of stock pulley will clear frame, you'll see what i mean)
6. Remove stock pulley bolt,(at this point go buy same thread bolt but 1-2in. longer and 5 or so thick washers that fit bolt, washers to be used later) screw in 1in. of longer bolt into crank.
7. RENT A SMALL 4 TON GEAR PULLER from local auto store and pull off pulley.
***At this point if you don't know how to use a puller or can't figure it out, PAY someone to do this Mod for you!!!!***
8. Put on new AFX pulley and thread longer bolt with washers between head of bolt and pulley.
9. Use ratchet socket and bolt to "pull" new pulley on. Remove or add washers as needed to "pull" pulley on tighter. At some point you can put stock bolt back in to finish "pulling" on the rest of the way.
10. Add new belts, tighten all acc. MAKE SURE BELTS ARE HELLA TIGHT or SSQQQUUUEEEELLLLL!!!!!!! put everything else back on and KAKOW, new pulley!!!
No matter how you do it, it will be some hassle. The old pulley is a tight virgin whoe! You will need the puller!!!! You can try oven heating the new pulley to slide it on, but sometimes it works and sometimes it don’t. Plus you gota have good mittens to handle the heat! This way will take about 3 hours start to finish if you have all the right tools and you’re good to go!

to tighten your pulley, i just put everything back together including the front right tire and with the car on the ground in gear, hand brake on and wheel blocks I use a long socket extension( or several short once connected together) stick it through the front right wheel all the way to the crank bolt and tighten it with the torque wrench.

well, i havent done it yet, i got a shop that will do it for 30 bux, and thats better than sweatin it out myself. i have heard that it takes a shop like an hour and a half, but if i did it, it would be more like 2-5 hours. good luck, and let us know how it goes, maybe u can add a lil to the writeup i got.
