For those with odp

[Technik]

for those of you guys who have odps, how did you get them off? I ordered one from ZXtuner and i am waiting for it to come (it is on back order). the other day i was lookin at the stock pulley and noticed that there is very little room to get tools in there to remove the bolt, i was just wondering if you guys had any tips that could maybe speed up the process.

Also if I have a powder UDP with the odp will i have any problems with the battery?

the ODP fixes the negative effects on the battery that the UDP causes

The alternator needs to be completely removed.

I think it would be smart to try and loosen the bolt first while attatched to the bealt and car... I took it off then realised that... no worries though, air impact tools FTW!!!

Definitely take out the alternator, that's why I didn't buy one. Another reason I bought the ZXTuner UDP instead of powders. After I installed the UDP I noticed my idle was still good and didn't need an ODP.

not really, just make sure you talk dirty to it.....

Should just have to loosen the belt, unbolt it, disconnect wires and yank it out. Then put it in a vice, pneumatic wrench the nut off, swap out pullies. Then assemble in reverse order, presto, your'e done.
