It is 15 bucks give or take a few. That way you know you ain't gonna break anything! Other than that, everything is super easy regarding taking off the hoses and unbolting it from the car. Not hard at all. No special tools needed if you jave sockets and open end wrenches available. Just pay someone to take the pulley off and put the new one on, simple. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>st5150</b> <br /><small>Member # 51</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,2,14,17,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Where is it leaking from?
