Cant get pulley on!!!!! OK, so its been 2 days ive been workin on this pulley install. (Im glad i learned what 15 minute install meant early in life). Cant find a bolt long enough to get my March Puylley on. Cant find threaded rod the right size. Autozone said the didnt have a tool.
Ive heard that the stock bolt should be able to get a couple threads in, but my bolt is like 2 inches from threading. Should the pulley slide in more, because mine goes in like 1 centemeter or 2? SHould I hammer it in more? Should I sell my soul for some mechanical engenuity?

My machinic just put my on. He put a little grease on the snout of pulley. Used rubber hammer and tapped it in just a little and then threaded the bolt in and used impact to pull it down.

Thanks I wont be using an impact tool as I dont have one.
As of right now me and my dad have bought 2 bolts from Home Depot. There not long enough but are the right width. My father is in the shed as we speak welding the 2 bolts together. He first welded them and they were too short. Then again and they wer too long so we used a socket to make the head of the bolt longer(if u get what im saying). The pulley went in a centimeter or 2 then broke at a weld. It unthreaded thouygh, no problem. Im kinda worried about this, but unless I can find an easier way....

OK thanks fellas....
Its on and its all good.
except for my fucked up maf... my running rich after headers.... my tc needing to be installed... my dire need of a tune.... my ugly body kit... my interioir painting... my ta bezel and white faced guages.... my ss or sunoco hood... and maybe nitrous...
oyea its all good and almost done
anyway its on and i actually feel a difference. Good stuff. I didnt so much feal a SOTP difference as I looked down at the speedometer periodically and was like "O, I guess I should slow down."
Again thanks guys, Im gonna go get high.

put your pulley in the oven at 210* for 20-30 minutes grab your oven mits and slide it right on.....
u shouldnt have to nudge or beat on it at all... it will just slide on....
210 is how hot a motor gets so it wont hurt the pulley....
