if you have an impact and the right puller to get the stock crank pulley off.......

i shredded my alternator belt this morning.....had to leave my car about an hour from home.....took 6 trips to napa to find a new belt that would fit[&:].....then about 2 hours later i snapped my power steering belt....so tomorrow i have to go hunting for a new one of those too[:@]

that sounds like a good price for the package. I personally don't think that the UDP are really worth it for the money and the performance you get, but they do look nice. You are gonna need a puller and some way to hold the pullys to loosen and tighten the bolt, an impact gun will do the job fine, but other than that you are gonna need to use a pry bar or something to keep the pulley from turning as you loosen the bolt.

i usually shove a big screwdriver through the spokes of the pulley and prop it under the top lip for the oil pan

Yeah that will work, I have seen people that created oil leaks doing that though, they bent the pan. Just be careful if you do that
