    Hey guys, so this weekend im probably dropping a pulley size. Im going from the stock size to a 3.6. I was just wondering if i will need a new belt, and if so how difficult is it to replace. Thanks.

    Do you have to do anything to the belt to make it fit?

    nope, it goes back on the same way it came off.

    a 3.4 is smaller then a 3.6 so your pulley is just a bit smaller then a stock 3.8. it will just be a bit looser fitting.

    If its the stock pulley you'll have to buy or rent a pulley puller.
