Found mine at ACE hardware.

I couldn't find the threaded rod so I just settled for the longer crank bolt. I found it at a business that only sells nuts and bolts..

It could be detramental if it strips the threads on your crank. The longer bolt makes it easier to take on and off the pulley.

Horror stories all over the site about the longer bolt method!

I'll take a piece of wood and a rubber mallot any day over the longer bolt.

The best tool is a prpane torch heating the center of the stock pulley up a tad to slide it all the way on with it even seating with a bolt....$30 bucks max at the store...

I've got a piece of threaded rod. I dont understand how you get a socket over the long piece of rod or a wrench down inside the pulley to turn that mother on the crank.
