After Market Pulley Installation
Hello Forum members,

I want to install an after market pulley kit.
Parts: VRP 175 MM pulley and wp pulley
Crank bolt & Gates belt # K080514

Is this all the items that one would need for the installation?

Can the SL55 be driven safely, until she is put on dyno for a tune?

Thanks for any help

No problem driving without an ECU tune.

You'll want the crank pulley tool to hold the pulley when applying torque to the bolt. Picture here: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...y-install.html
