personally i have a 98 lx, but i would assume the setup would be atleast similar. The kit comes with a power steering pulley and an alternator pulley.
Ok so it sounds simple enough, replacing your old pulleys with new ones and run the new belts that come with the kit.....but the problem i run into is how the hell can you get the old ones off?
does anyone have any tips for keeping them locked in place to make removing the bolts easier?
And if you have done this before, the instructions say that it might be reverse thread depending on your application.....do you remember what yours was?

any help would be appreciated, i wanna get the kit on before it gets too cold

thanks.....but that still doesn't reall help much for the power steering, it says you don't have to disconnect anything, but it doesn't mention how to go about the power steering......i couldn't see doing the wrench and impact inside the engine bay.......i mean i don't think there is much room for it in the first place, and second i think that might pose a threat to the surrounding items

The way I did it on mine was I removed the power steering pump and put it atop the valve cover. I then took a screwdriver, and propped it in the pulley to keep it from spinning. Then, I used an impact wrench and I was done. If you take it to a parts store, they will most likely do it the same way. Trust me on that, thats what we did where I worked when people bout p/s pumps and alternators.
