Tools for Super charger pulley install
I have been reading a ton of threads and searched a few different forums trying to see what tools are needed, so far a strap wrench (with rubber not nylon strap) breaking bar (maybe) and also read that a IIrc socket as well. (not even sure what that is. Anyone who has performed this that could help would be awesome! Thanks in advance.

I have not touched a pulley sorry but I can tell you a full socket set with imperial and metric sizes is a must for any car work. A good set will come with a breaker bar. 1/2" is fine for most things but you will find a 3/8 and 1/4 necessary the more stuff you do. A couple of good screwdrivers and a set of spanners is also a must. If you plan to do a lot more DIY stuff then you tend to add tools as you need/buy them.

The most important tool you will need is the socket to loosen the belt tensioner. The belt tensioner uses an e11 torx socket and it is fairly difficult to find them locally. Other than the strap wrench, you will use I think a 13mm socket to remove the bolt that holds the supercharger pulley on. Hardest part for me was pulling the washer and then the pulley off, you will just need to work it until it comes off.
