Idler pulley help!
Decided to try to get the aux idlers and belt wrap kit from Shardul in tonight. I assume since I got the 4 piece set that one of the non ribbed idlers goes lower right of the sc pulley (if looking from the front). What I can't figure out is if I should use the stock dust cover that was on the stocker. I wouldn't think it would but I want to make sure. Hmmm, just unwrapped it and it comes with a washer. That go on the front or back?
Thanks gang!
Thanks gang!

I swear to God I should just sell every tool I own. I don't belong working on cars anymore.
Put the idlers and belt wrap kit in and ALL I NEED TO DO IS GET THE ACCESSORY BELT ON! But it seems since my tensioner is fully relieved, there's just no effing way to get a socket on it now. It was hard enough when it was loaded up and rotated away from the lower pulley. I have a 180 so that's probably not helping in the space department. I finally give up and say "I'll just jack her up and pull the belly pan and get in fro,below.. NOPE. My effing car is lowered by star, and it seems you have to have the car running to raise it.
So basically.. **** MY LIFE. Going to keep staring at this thing and now I'll be getting a ride to work tomorrow. Then I'll have her towed to a shop with a lift. How effing embarrassing. I fail... Ugh.
/rant off
On a good note, Shardul's kit looks fantastic and his customer service is outstanding! I can't wait to actually drive this thing lol!

Well just a follow up. I got everything finished. It seems all it took was having a friend there with me to talk me off the ledge. He brought a second jack so I got one corner up, then slid under with jack #2 to the centered jack plate under the front. Pulled the bottom tray and EASILY got a 17mm wrench on there. Then my friend got the accessory belt on. In any case, I'm posting to simply say THANK YOU to Shardul for helping me with the questions. The man called me at 10pm to give me assistance. If that's not the best customer service you can get, I'm really not sure what is, because I don't expect stuff like that.
Anyways, I went from this:
To this thanks to his help
and couldn't be happier. Twin Aeroforces and gauge pod are in route. Pretty sure I can't F that install up, right?
