What are they doing just turning, or are they just not budging from their mounting holes??

if you're trying to get the underdrive pulley off, the one that's connected to the crank youll need a lot more than a wrench. a breaker bar prolly wont even do it.....you need a big impact gun w/ 800 ft/lbs of reverse torque. GL

Good luck!

I took mine to a shop...

Actually, I took mine to the honda dealership, so that it wouldn't void my warranty. They were cool with it, and I haven't had any problems at all!

If you're having problems with it, I would recommend taking it to a shop and having them installed professionally. Good Luck! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I got my PS pulley off by hand, just put like a screwdriver in between the old pulley to lock it in place, then just grow some ***** and pull! I had to use an impact gun for the alternator, that thing is really on there!!! Putting these things on was probably one of the most challenging mods i've done...
