Hey everyone, sorry it took so long to respond, but I've watched my brother do pulleys on his '05 R53 and his friends '06 I have the skills to do it, I've replaced my crank position sensor, water pump, starter, and clutch; so I'm confident in my abilities, plus I hope to some day be a professional and I've got plants of help if I'm not sure of something. I plan on investing in a belt tool at some point because I'll need it down the road, but the puller I don't want to spen 70 bucks on something I'll use once.
And yes I ordered the correct size belt, I ended up just getting the pulley package from wmw, so it came with the pulley, belt, and colder JCW plugs.
And whoever said you can get away without the belt tool, how do you go about it? Just grab a breaker bar, pull, then put the locking pin in place?

Yes but you will need a helper to put the pin in. Look at my first reply. Putting a socket on the bolt I described gives you a better footing to pry on. I just use a long pry bar, be carefully it slips off very easily.
One thing you need to learn is every time you do a job it's time for a new tool! This becomes more important when you get married!
Good luck! Let us know how it works out. -
