View Full Version : Getting underdrive pulley set. Shop install or DIY? markb50k 07-23-2003, 04:14 PM What are your thoughts? Ive heard it is a very straightforward install. So... should i do it myself? If so, anyone want to help? hehe... or should i get a shop to do it? If so, which? Thanks ARCpolo 07-23-2003, 04:17 PM Mark, this is def. a DIY job, maybe 1hr - 2 hr the most markb50k 07-23-2003, 04:30 PM do you know where i can get DIY instructions for it? if you got them for the E36 that might be enuf i would think. BimmerDawg 07-23-2003, 04:37 PM DIY! No question. ARCpolo 07-23-2003, 05:00 PM Not sure if they have DIY for the E46, but for the E36, no need for instructions. Just remove the OEM pullies and attach the new pulley, you might need a smaller belt for the smaller pulley sizes.. Ron17 07-23-2003, 05:57 PM Mark, what vendor's pullies are you buying? I JUST got my UUC pullies in and I am going to DIY these, of course. neilm3 is also ordering them, so I believe we're gonna try to do an install together, if he can get them in a timely fashion. I've got E36 instructions that came with the pullies... I imagine instructions would come with any pulley set that you order. Def 07-23-2003, 10:55 PM Easy DIY install. Just get a strap wrench and have the assorted sockets and you should be good to go. markb50k 07-23-2003, 11:15 PM im getting Evosports UDP from TMS. Im assuming instruction would come with the set. i wanted the UUC ones, but they dont have em for E46 M3 yet :( perhaps we can all put ours on together, should be fun. if not, ill wait till my dad comes into town so he can drool over the car while we become grease monkeys for a while. let me know. ARCpolo 07-24-2003, 09:05 AM Mark, Neil is coming up to work on brakes this Sat around 10. If you have the pullies, you can come on over and we can put those on..let me know 404-423-6460 atlantaM3 07-24-2003, 11:31 AM your house the local shop now?

Not to mention a 32mm open-end wrench and a fan removal tool *of some sort*... neilm3 07-24-2003, 01:14 PM Hey Guys, sorry I'm Late!! Ron: Unfortunately, I will not be able to add the UUC UDP to my list of mods. Turns out the AA SC cannot handle these. You should come by Marco's house saturday morning, like he said, we are replacing my brakes. BTW, anyone here have a c-clamp I can borrow? NEiL AA SC Ron17 07-24-2003, 01:49 PM Bah. That's no good. Ali 07-24-2003, 01:49 PM I might drop by to check out Neils car Def 07-24-2003, 03:36 PM Originally posted by Ron17 Not to mention a 32mm open-end wrench and a fan removal tool *of some sort*... Big pair of pliers... Right alongside a BFH, BFPliers are your next best friend. :D markb50k 07-25-2003, 09:23 AM UPS says the pulleys will arrive around 7/29 so i cant make it saturday. |
