Usually you go under car, remove front engine plastic cover, unbolt lower engine mount bolts, using piece of wood jack car engine up a bit to help clear fan shroud with impact gun, clamp pulley somehow, we used the old pulley belt for this, remove bolt, lower engine back, rebolt mount reinstall cover, apply new pulley and shim as required. I think it was .34-.6mm but youll find the spec with a little searching. Bolt back on, torque to spec and then belt on. Ive seen it done in 10min once they know the steps bur if they're muddling through that is a different story...

If the bolt comes undone then 15 mins. If you have a crows foot wrench in the correct size you may not even need the engine tilted or touch the fan shroud. Most find the job relatively easy. However every once in a while someone posts that none of the tricks on here work. Mine was one, almost impossible to get the bolt out. Took my mechanic 2 hours.

Tune takes 10 mins in the garage.

The first time you break the pulley bolt will be a PITA. I have a smile socket I am able to get on it with a 3/8 drive breaker bar(just barley) without removing the fan or jacking the motor. 2 hours could be a fair bet.

I also wouldn't recommend putting on a smaller pulley without a belt wrap kit.

Jack the engine?

Tavarish looks like he just put on clamps and took it off.

Yea, so 2 hours looks like they're trying to hose me. It should be 1 tops..

If you need to get a rattle gun on it then you need to Jack the engine or remove and raise the fan shroud. What tavarish did works fine for most people but not everyone, it was nowhere near enough torque to undo mine. Took 4 guys at the mechanics and a 4foot bar.

Yeah you get a floor jack and a piece of wood i think u call it 2 by 4 then you put the wood between the oil pan and jack it up a few inchs like tw2 says, if you lucky your bolt cone off ez if you not its badically superglued in lolol

Looks good. I like to suck the oil out rather than climb under the car but that's just me. You should ideally replace the rotors each time you replace the pads. At the very least get them turned and measured but replacement is much better. Meyle are usually the cheapest oem rotors, about $300 on pelican parts for all four but there are plenty of other options. Double check the cabin filter with your parts supplier using VIN as there were two different configurations/filters and the cut off/options is not 100% clear. Mann is the oem manufacturer for the air filters for the engine.

Each player comes to the casino for their reasons. Some want to have fun, some want to take a risk and feel a pleasant tension, and some want to earn money. I prefer the approach of just having a good time. That's why I usually don't play big. My maximum bet is as much as I don't mind losing. One of my favorite casinos is https://wildcardcityvip.com/. It keeps me from losing large amounts, but the winnings are pretty big for such a small deposit.
