Need help on pulley removal
Doing the EvoSport pulley mod and only have the water pump pulley replaced. I couldn't get grip on pulley to keep in-place while removing
bolt. So my question is: Is there something I can buy or do to keep
pulley from rotating as I'm about to try and remove alt/ps pulley? Thx.

How did it go and how is the car running?
What did you take off to get to the pulleys (fan, etc)?

I didn't finish as I have kids and they needed my help with stuff. Anyhow,
I removed the fan 2-3 clips on top and the power feed on the right. Move
the small coolant hose out of the way and the fan lifts right out. I used an
impact to take off the alt bolt and the four small bolts on the water pump
came off with a wrench; the power steering needs a pulley puller which I
have a small puller and need to pick one up from Sears in the morning. The
belt came off so now I just need to remove the PS pulley/replace and put
the belt back on; reinstall fan (about 1/2 hour to finish). I'll complete tomorrow and post my results. I wish I did the crank pulley while I had
everything out. Oh well, thats' another day.

The fan had to come out (fairly easy - a few clips at the top and electrical
connector). Like everyone else before me, the power steering pulley was the
PITA - but in the end a friend at AutoThority managed to get it off - needing
time and the right puller - and WD40).
The car feels more responsive and get up and go off the line is more noticed
after the switch. Everything is going well and I think it was a good choice to
go with.

I had my pullies put in except the power steering. Having a hard time trying to get the power steering pulley off. Any suggestions? I hear you need a pulley puller and installation tool for the power steering pulley.
