Be careful pulling the pulley, as the center is plastic and has been known to crack quite easily.

pull the belt off

16mm crowsfoot for the hard line
2 13mm for the pump to the bracket

dont remember any 10mm's...



thats what is needed to pull the pulley correctly

So the pulley was causing squeaking? Was it like a bird chirping sound? I've got the same sound and was just wondering. What pulley did you go with?
