How to install the Water Pump pulley (AEM)

[02galant]

I have searched but did actually find a HOW TO on installing the pulley itself I got the pulley kit from AEM but dont think I am gonna use the alternator pulley because I have fairly powerful sound system and my G isnt a daily driver. But anyway if anyone has had any experience installing this and would mind given me a little write on how to do it. Thanks

aem makes a water pump pulley? anyways...why would u want your water pump to turn slower. thats just plain stupid. you might gain a hp, but that hp doesn't matter when ur car overheats.

How will it turn slower the pulley elmiate the drag of the pulley system and it is more less for looks and like i said its not a daily driver so overheating wouldnt be a issue

aem pulleys are what? slightly overlarge than the oem.

bigger pulley means bigger circumference means, the pulley will turn slower than the factory one since the water pump pulley is being driven, not the one driving the other pulleys.

slower the water pump turns, the less water gets pumped, the water heats up quicker.

but yea, do waht u want cuz i still can't believe aem was stupid enough to make such a thing.

my car was out of work and it was that pulley that was out of wack and i spent a month without a car trying to get that middle bolt loose without turning the pulley. GOOD LUCK. i ended up just getting a new engine put in instead of getting the socalled tools from autozone and still not getting the old pulley off. get a air gun and either have someone start the car to break the bolt loose or something. but like i said i worked on it for a month and couldnt even get the old one off.

I had my mechanic install it for me. He charged me $75 bucks which is high but saved me the headache. I don't recommend doing it. The only difference I noticed is that when it's 95 degrees outside and i'm in traffic, it gets hot. I would never let my wife drive it like that or anyone else who didn't understand how an UNDERDRIVE system works. It's not for your normal daily driver but I am stuborn and keep spending money on other stuff rather than just getting a damn turbo.
