lol i just did mine. Loosen the two bolts behind the PS pump (they are on tracks), the top one on the front(Pivot) and a hidden one below on the front for the adjustment bolt, then loosen it from the adjustment bolt which is on the right. I found not having the stock airbox in helped a lot.

I think 1/2, but I might've been using a 13mm. I tend to use metric when I can. Less thinking when I need to step a size up or down.

all of the bolts are 13mm, gotta loosen the two slider bolts on the back, the top pivot bolt on the front, then all the force will be on the adjuster bolt which moves very slowly. Before trying to use that though it's nice to loosen the bolt that holds that in place, it's below the pully and impossible to see. And don't forget to tighten them all back up, like i did...

Understandable and yes a 13mm is basically a 1/2 should I use a deep well or just a shallow

Easiest way? Take both. Or shallow and 3" extension. Can be done with shallow.

I used a normal socket on the adjuster, then a box wrench on the others.
