Looking good Grippy. There are several short cuts one could do but your way gets everything completely out of the way. Nice pics and well documented. Should help out a lot of first timers.

Fortunatly for me I work for a dealer and have direct access to that kind of kit and I can tell you that it's well worth it.

I'm an x-dealer man myself, and I can vouch for the kit as well. The alignment tools are awesome as far as preventing future leaks.

Out of curiosity how did you keep the ps pulley form spinning while you tightened the bolt to get it off?

Where did you order it from? I did a yahoo search and only found an ebay sale and then went on google and found their home site but you have to email them I guess to get any info on what all is included.

Wanna sells yours after you are through with it?

I held a wrench on the inner hex, and turned the outer hex with a ratchet, there was no need to hold the pulley, the counter motion stabilizes everything.

I bid for the kit on ebay. It's new (which was nice), seller has 100% positive feedback (which I require). I'm just going to add it to my tool inventory, I have no intentions to sell it, but you never know
