I know you gotta take off the pass side wheel and the fender liner, but I don't know how it bolts to the motor and what to use to release the tention in the belt

You will have to dettach the passenger-side motor mount (right by the cruise control module). Be sure to support the engine via a jack and a wood block - you can support the oil pan; just don't lift the motor by it!

A couple of problems:

The 24X reference ring that is pressed into your factory harmonic balancer must be removed and transferred to the new FFP pulley. It takes patience to not magle the ring during the removal process (it doesn't come out easy).

Also, it's very easy to damage the front crankshaft seal when replacing the crank pulley - I had to replace mine (actually, a dealer did), as I started to drip a little oil after a few weeks. A job best handled by a mechanic.

Find someone you trust to do the job right......you probably won't find them at Pep Boys.

It's probably not a bad isea to make them aware of the 24X reference ring. Also, if you're going to have a mech. do the job for you, cough up the extra dough to replace the front seal - it's cheap insurance. Other than that, they shouldn't need any instructions, although the pulley does come with some directions, and a full install is detailled on www.fastfwdperformance.com. You must supply a new belt; I think I used one 85.5" long.
