Dweezel, I'm pretty sure that the manual says that you need a 22mm crow's foot wrench, but a 7/8'' one from Sears works just fine. 7/8'' works out to 22.225mm, pretty damn close.

But maybe its due to the cost of living in MS? cta intake essilenger udp odp 9mm ford racing wires hp accel coil custom fog lights svt kit with micahs pre98 svt bumper 17 inch speedy holotype wheels 215 45 Ventus HRII tires custom wood dash magnaflow exhaust

It doesn't sound like many have so what I'm wondering is has anyone run into any problems down the line from not using all the right tools? Also, who has changed the pullies as well as the belt because that seems it would complicate the install process quite a bit? I'm planning to tackle this job this week and would appreciate any advice I haven't seen here already. Thanks in advance.
