I had my ASP pulley installed by a local mechanic.

They will give you a belt number you need to buy.

The installation is not that hard, but you will need lift. Take it to a local MB shop and let them know what you are trying to do, they will know how to do it.

The kit comes with the compressor pulley and water pump pulley.

YOu only need to buy the belt.

Personally, I took the car to a local mechanic and I stood by a few hours as they worked on the car. We struggled a bit, but in the end the pulley was set nice and tight. Do a search of this forum for all the installation stories about ASP.

The job should take about 2 to 3 hours max.

The ASP Pulley kit now comes with the belt. They had some issues with the belt being too small, but they've changed the belt to one thats 1/2" longer. I just installed 2 pulley kits on E55s and the new belts fit perfectly. Let me know if you need the part # for the new belt.
