Well its about that time again... I have never changed it before I have a 97 st 7afe. Anyone have a write up on how to change it or a guide? Any special tools needed to make it go easier? I won`t be doing it alone I have a friend whos very experienced in cars but he hasn`t really change it before as well. Any help/guide/ or advice would be much appreciated! Thanks All

Its super easy on the 7afe, it probably took zfjohnson and I less than an hour to change his. The 5sfe is WAY harder to change.
The only advice I can think to give you is that you need an air impact hammer and a relatively large air compressor to break the crankshaft pulley bolt loose. If you dont have an impact hammer, place an appropriately sized socket(6 sided is preferable over 12 sided) and ratchet on the bolt and slip a piece of pipe over the end of the ratchet. Now brace the pipe on the end of the ratchet against the ground or the control arm and have an assistant crank the starter. The starter will spin the engine clockwise which will break the bolt loose and back it out. Anyways, its come in handy for me a few times |
