Pulley install help e92 dsg 2011
Getting ready to attempt to install crank pully. I did see 1 DIY from EAS. My only question is im installing Gintani pulley, do i have to remove any other pulleys or belt tensioner from car? Is the electric fan a pain to take out? Is putting on new belts and routing them also a pain? Any tips or tricks you guys can help me with? Tools needed? I heard you need a T45 socket for crank? Any info would be appreciated.

Haven't done any pulley change, but I just did a belt change. No special tools, metric sockets and torx. Fan can be removed without removing the air filter housing (and I managed it), but I wouldn't recommend it. Install will certainly be easier without it. Fan is held by one torx on right side, and a clip on left.
In order to remove alternator belt, you need to remove one A/C idler pulley, but thats an easy thing. Belts go on fairly easy, wrap a towel around the spanner when pushing belt tensioners. Note that there are two different routings of the A/C-belt (old cars have belt going over steering pump, on newer belt goes under), so make a note which way your belt runs. Haven't removed the crank pulley, so I cannot help there. Important! When you're done, remove the underbody protection and reattach hoses to the underside of the fan shroud. |
