Ok so here is my next question. I know that the bolt is a McGard Intimidator bolt courtesy of http://blog.scionxtc.com/ but does anyone know the part number for the intimidator bolt? they have a few different sizes and I would like to buy the correct key.

Thanks

just go to an auto parts store and ask to try a few.

...wish I could be more help but mine has the normal bolt.

Thanks any way

Yeah I know Advance Auto Parts and Autozone don't carry McGuard products but my dad told me Pep boys has them.

Thanks tho seeing as you are the only person to reply :lol:

lol. Us S/C guys are few and far between and the Scion population in general is thin on TN.

Once you get the key the hard part is keeping the pulley and shaft from turning when you try and loosen it. I tried a strap wrench but it didn't grip tight enough so I just paid somebody to do it.

btw, I'm pretty sure Pepboys, Advance and maybe NAPA carry McGuard

I've been afraid to have someone do it for me. I didn't want anyone saying they could change it, then do something stupid to get the bolt out and damage my shaft. On top of that the dealer won't touch it. I've been dying to get this pulley and my crank pulley on. it seems easy enough, its just this tamper "resistant" bolt on the s/c pulley drivin me nuts

Have to tried to call mcguard yet?

I just called TRD and they can't help. Said it's proprietary and I can't get it.
The dealer wont help for two reasons.
#1. They become liable for anything that they've caused
#2. They can't get the tool.

See, TRD doesn't let us tear down to repair main components of thier performance parts. They send us warranty replacement components and we send back the faulty unit, much like Radios.

If there's a special tool you can get for this you'll have to call either McGuard or Kent-Moore/SPX

^ but the SC comes unassembled ... they actually put the pulley on at the dealership. I know this because I ordered thru Sparks Toyota out of state and brought it myself to a local dealer for the install.

Here's what I pulled outta the box when it first arrived.
