Default light weight pulleys
I have a 2001 2.8 and I bought a lw pulley set. does anyone know how to remove the crank pulley and does it need to be in the service position?

Yes it needs to be opened up. You might squeeze a ratchet in there but it's very tight and more hassle than it's worth. You do know that common lore says any power increases are basically zero right?

I know lol. I was wondering though if I would mess up the engine timing if i tried to remove it. Also does anyone know how to put the car in service position because i never attempted it before.

You won't touch engine timing when removing the pulley - the timing belt rides on a sprocket behind the pulley. Check the DIY forum and find a timing belt procedure. It'll walk you through service position. It's easy.
