Installed new EVO pully kit / no Power Steering pully used
Just had my pully kit installed. purchased the EVO kit.
in the middle of the install the mechanic notified me that a part was wrong called up EVO,
they stated that for the new 2005 SL500 the power steering pully can not be changed even though they sent us one.
So for the new 2005 SL500 you can only change the alternator pully and the water pump pully and obviously the belt, all that for about $350 in parts. I do not think it is worth it.
just my 2 cents.
I did not even notice any difference in performance.
Below are some photos.
I left my camera at home and did not bring it to the shop. so i had to use my cell phone camare. Sorry about the quality.
The belt
The water pump pully
the Alternator pully
the power steering pully here was not even installed. So i have one laying around now.
