Default changing pulleys

as you look at the front of the engine, which pulleys are actually replaced by "lightweight" versions? Im presuming the main crank pulley in the middle....

how difficult is it to do?

Just remove the fans.

Get a 2foot bar and 22mm socket, put car in 5th gear and get someone to stand on the brakes hard, the crank bolt should come free with a bit of effort.

Would suggest you also crack the PS and Alternator ones whilst belt is still under tension.

Any probs give me a shout.

The power steering is splined, and can appear as if its pressed on.

The alternator is the hardest one to change IMO, and a good impatc gun would come in handy

The crank is notched to sit around the woodruff key on the crank, and again can initially appear as if its pressed on.

Thinking aloud, the newage ones could be pressed on, and as a consequence would need to be pressed/pulled off
