Question Removal of SC pulley question

Bolt removal is counter clockwise right? I'm missing some sockets and need
to run out this morning to pick up some. I heard people breaking the bolt and didn't want to end up with it breaking. Thanks.

I need to be sure about this also. I always just assumed it was like most others, "lefty loosey, righty tighty".

Counter clockwise will loosen it, I changed my bearing a couple weeks ago so I can tell you from experience.

indeed...counterclockwise...

you might want to get one of those rubber loop type wrenchs to aid in getting the bolt off as the bearing spins freely as you try and get the bolt off..

Done and done. Got it installed and fixing to do the code3 intake as soon as the temps drop. It's 90 outside and garage feels warmer! Anyone know the
right way to install the code3 intake? I have a habit of installing stuff the long way and taking more time than needed.

Just takes some fanaggling, I unscrewed the airboxes then unclipped the top clip from the throttle body and pushed it down till the bottom clip of the splitter is unclipped. I took the plug off the top the the throttle body and moved it out of the way. Then I lift the whole thing and kinda rotate it to the right and just kinda sneak it by everything. Not the best instructions but after about 3 times of taking it on and off its too bad. Oh and there is a little black hose on the drivers side that hooks into the back of the splitter you have to pull out. Spark plug wire boot pullers work great.

Thanks. Going back into the HOT garage to finish this. It's down to 85 outside
and 90 in the garage. I need AC in the garage!
