i was wondering how you go about this, what do i have to remove to get to the opti, and does anyone have some tips to make this easier, so far i have removed the discounted the battery, took out the air intake, fans, and drilled the coolant, is the water pump next? or do i have to remove the dampener? or both? im just going to be replacing the optis cap and rotor,
thanks

You'll need to get the radiator out and the water pump. You'll need to get the pulley/damper off, but you can leave the hub in there.

When i replaced mine i put the car on a lift and removed the waterpump the crank pulley and the fans on the radiator but i left the radiator in the car.

yea... i did mine without pulling the radiator... just take the fans and shroud out... i had to pull my PS pulley so i could get the the WP bolt on the far left.. i got it out but couldnt get good contact on it going back in... and i didnt want to beat up the pulley so i just got it out of the way...

I usually just pull the radiator, fans, and condensor (no longer in my car) out all together since they are somewhat attached. I usually get the fans hung on a hose or something so I just pull it all out.

i almost have the pump out, but im hung up, seems the water pump goes behinde the drivers side braket, i have to pull that to? is it just the 2 bolts like in the 2nd pic i attached?
also the 3 bolts on the pully do i need to unbolt thos or just unbolt the the bolt that bolts to the crank?
i didnt have to pull the PS pully,

That's the air pump bracket ain't it? You can just take that off and leave it out.
