I wish I did a step by step with pics on mine as its sooo simple and the instructions from C3 are poor IMO. Extra steps listed in those that simply are not needed.
I went to the local Checker/Oriley autoparts and bouth a 2 piece strap wrench kit for like $10
and you need only reverse torx socket I think? E10?
From memory-
Remove the 2 reverse torx (forgot size, 10?) holding the air pump line clamps. Pull the rubber hoses off from the head, and move 2nd air pump hard lines out of the way. Look at my attached pics. I circled the e-torx bolts.
Unclip the radiator hose (plastic clip)
Take the other reverse torx, put it on the tensioner pulley with a rather long ratchet/breakerbar. Losen tension and remove belt from the SC pulley.
Use ratchet strap hold pulley, remove bolt from SC. (think its a 12mm?) note location of the marking paint. When torqed down (forgot spec, I think 20nm) it should line back up. The bolt is hollow, if over torqued bolt will snap. I believe it was done to prevent you from stripping out SC.
Note how many (if any) Spacers are on the stock SC pulley. Dont lose them.
