DIY: UR Crank Pulley Install
Proceed at your own risk. I am not responsible for any problems you may encounter following this procedure. Use common sense and do not attempt if you are not comfortable with this procedure.
With that said, this is not difficult for the mechanically inclined and I enjoyed performing this mod.

UR Crank Pulley
Belts
Tools
19mm - 6 sided impact socket
10mm socket
14mm socket
Breaker bar
Cheater (if required)
Pulley Puller (if required)

(3) 2.5" Hose Clamps

Remove engine cover and air intake chamber
Check both belts for tension. This will be helpful at the end when you install the new belts.
Jack the drivers’ side up and use a jack stand (use common sense, set the parking brake and block the rear wheels)
Loosen both idler pulleys center bolts (pic 4 & 5). Do not remove!

Lower the car back down almost all the way. The wheels should be on the ground solid. I left the car up just a bit to squeeze under the car easier.
Remove the crank bolt by using a breaker bar set at the 5 o-clock position as described in other threads. This was very easy. I set everything in position, double checked and then turn the key for a split second. I went back and checked the bolt and it was still tight. I had to do it a second time, so I set it all up again, double checked and cranked a little longer (less than a second) and the bolt was free.
I was lucky and the pulley wiggled right off. I didn’t need the puller.

I was also lucky as the UR pulley wiggled on. I didn’t need a hammer and block of wood. I put a very small amount of anti-seize on the edge of the UR pulley bore to help it slide on. I could tell it bottomed out by moving the pulley away from the engine and “slamming” it back listening for the sound of the impact.
A little anti-seize on the crank bolt and it screwed in very easy.

I did not remove the radiator. This procedure can be used to skip this step. Many feel this technique is high risk and would rather use an impact wrench to remove the crank bolt which requires removing radiator. Now for an MT, you can use a pry bar on the flywheel. There are other threads that discuss this technique.
If I remember correctly (its been over 2 years since I did this mod) it didn't take more than 2-3 hours and that's with taking pictures. I take my time though and work slow and steady. It will take longer if you remove the radiator.
