Mr. Staples, do you work on cars for other people?  Mine needs this work done.  Just thought I'd ask.

Douchbag owner. How to tell?  The license plates.
Those of us who are well-off, don't need to advertise it.

Where did you get the special tool to remove the gear? And what is the name of that tool?

So I need a special tool to remove the top plastic pulley? Mine shredded and so did the tensionor pulley.

Great job, that v8 takes the whole engine bay. Many bolts are very hard to remove. Credit to your patience. I've had two sevilles so I know they aren't easy to work on.
