Underdrive Crank Pulley

I just bought the SLP underdrive crank pulley from Summit. I looked at the engine compartment to start planning the job. It looks like it will have to be done from the bottom.
Does anybody have experience doing this mod? Can somebody point me to a procedure or steps for this job? The SLP directions are a little vague. Do i need to purchase the install tool for this job also?
Thankyou

i was able to do mine from the top...granted my radiator was out of the car at the time, don't know if i'd be able to do it from the top now, but anyway...autozone rents out a tool, part number 6267 (i think) or something similar that is a pulley removal tool that is specifically made for our cars (the ones that pop up in the computer suck) - you are also going to want a longer bolt or threaded rod to install the new pulley, oh and don't reuse the stock bolt

check out the pulley removal & installation part of the cam install writeup

pulley removal starts about 1/3 of the way down the page
pulley installation is about 7/8 of the way down the page

A 3 jaw puller will get it off and your old bolt will reinstall it. Get a new bolt. I did mine from the top w/ the radiator out when I changed the cam.
