pulley's
So i got some bbk pulley's and 80mm tb i'm putting on today, I was reading the instructions on the pulley's and it says something about some pulley tool never heard of. it also talks about a new bolt and the pulleys didn't come with anything so i'm thinkin the instructions are generic. thought i'd ask though to change out the pulley's do I need any special tools? please help I want to install today and i'm waiting till i get this info to start.

Dont reuse the old crank bolt, pickup a new one from dealer or local parts store.
The "special tool" is a crank pulley puller, makes things a bit easier to remove the pulley.

red circles should be the claws... red X in center is where the shaft goes...
as you turn the shaft the threads will make the claws pull on the pulley and poop taht bitch right off...

OK a picture is worth a thousand words. Here is the skinny ripped from LS1Howto.com
On a 6 speed car, put the shifter in 4th gear and make sure the parking brake is on tight. On an A4 car, you'll need to drop the starter and either install the flywheel locking tool or wedge a screwdriver in. The starter is held in by 2 13mm bolts for 99+ models or 2 15mm bolts for 98 models and is on the bottom rear passenger side of the engine. You can leave the wires attached.
Once the engine is locked down from spinning, use your large breaker bar, a 3" extension and a 24mm socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt that goes directly into the crank through the center of the large pulley. You may need a 2-3 foot extension of pipe to slip over your wrench to break this bolt free. Once it's broken free, you should be able to unscrew it by hand. Once the bolt is out, either thread it back in 4 full turns, or if you purchased a 1" longer metric crank bolt, install it all the way at this time.
Now install your 3 arm pulley puller, mounting the hooks of the three arms on the inner part of the stock pulley. If you already have an underdrive pulley on there, either pull it off using a 3 screw type puller, or be VERY careful and grab onto a lip of the underdrive pulley (on the f-body ASP pulley there is a ridge half way back that can be pulled on safely with a 3 arm puller). Keeping the pulley puller arms all secure and aligned, begin to tighten the bolt on the puller and crank on it until the pulley either comes loose, or hits the head of your crank bolt. If it hits the head of your crankbolt, loosen the pulley puller, unturn the bolt 1-2 turns, and re-try it again. The key when you back your crank bolt out more, you are putting MORE stress on less and less of the threads...however, towards the end of pulley removal it will come off easier and easier so the stress isn't enough to damage the crankshaft threads.
If you get the pulley as far off as it'll come without totally removing the crankbolt and the pulley is still firmly on there, give it a good tug or a tap with a rubber mallet...it should be hanging on by just a hair at this point. If you have the longer crank bolt, this won't be an issue.

yeah, put the car in gear and put the puller on the insides of the pulley. You're gonna have to put some back into that 24mm bolt to get it loose. I don't think you've don't the proper research on this swap personally. How do you plan on installing the new pulley? If you use the stock bolt to push it on be very careful as you can strip out the threads in the end of the crank. Put the new pulley in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes and that'll help it slide on.
