ok so i did a search and couldnt really figure out an answer to my question. i plan to put a #4 lower pully on tomorrow. iv done a few easy things like jdm cai, sbtb, easy stuff like that. how hard is it to change out my pully, i know i have everything that im going to need but im a little worried about doing this myself cause this is pretty much the first vehicle iv actually modded myself. would i have to drop the motor to actually get in there because it looks like a pretty tight space to be working in?

You don't need to drop the motor. You will just need the allen bit and a good breaker bar because the stock pulley is really tight. You may need to use the lock up tool as well. If you gte stuck post up and I am sure someone will chime in. Good luck!!
You won't need to drop the engine. If you're small, you may not even need to jack the front end up. RPM Outlet's instructions are pretty good.

The biggest catch is the pulley is reverse threaded. So, you have to turn it to the right to loosen it. Some pulley's are on really freaking tight. I like to put my back on a wheel and give the breaker bar a good kick. They come loose almost every time that way. You can also put a jack under the breaker bar and use that to knock it loose.
Good luck with it!

When facing the 14mm hex bolt you turn the wrench clock wise to loosen and counter clock wise to tighten.
Yes u cannot put enough stress on the reverse threads.. Trust me you do not wanna tighten that bad boy up... i put a breaker bar on it while on the ground and jacket up the breaker bar.... as soon as it lifted the front end off the ground and broke free... Sounds like u broke it of but its cool... Remember it comes off as an assembly. DONT FORGET THAT.... Then you simply losen it by hand and put the new one on...
But it is so worth the effort when u put the little pedal to the carpet
