remove the pulley bolts. I got the Stage 2 kit installed yesterday at the dealer and now I want to install the Stage 3 pulley. When ever I try to remove the bolts the pulley turns, the dealer must have used loctite to install the bolts. I was thinking on using heat to break the bolts free from the loctite but am affraid it will ruin the belt. Is there a way to keep the pulley from turning when I try to remove the bolts, also using the supplied socket, it seems like those bolts are easliy stripped.

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks,

The bolts do strip easy so be careful unless you want to drill them out.

Unfortunately the dealers seem to like either torquing the crap out of the bolts or using loctite. Either way, the easiest way to try and get them out is to have someone hold the pulley while you try and get the bolts out. If you still can't get them out or you start stripping the bolts you will need to remove the SC and drill the bolts out. I would suggest replacing the bolts if you do get them out and using bolts with an hex head, they are much easier to get out. Oh, and the pulley bolts are only supposed to be torqued to 15 pounds.
