I haven't installed an underdrive pulley but I had to remove my pulley because of my supercharger. The hardest part is getting your hands on the right tools. The crankshaft pulley on 2007-ups do not have the three threaded bolt holes that most harmonic balancer pullers could be used to remove. OTC makes a puller that doesn't rely on the bolt holes. You could try some of the auto part stores that rent tools. You may have to remove the fan and shroud for clearance. I had to anyway, but I'm not sure you'll have room to work with the fan and shroud in the way. The fan is going to take a special tool to remove as well. Beyond that it's a matter of removing the belt and installing the new pulley. If you have other pulleys with the kit, I can't help.

Go to any parts store ( tell them what your upto )and rent a 57mm spanner to hold the fan pulley at the screws, then I used a 1 1/2 oppen end wrench to lossen the fan.
If you dont allready have one youll need a shorter belt, 1" I think.
