Default Pulley doesn't fit easy, why?

I have a March under drive Pulley I'm trying to put on and it does not fit easy. The hole is actually smaller than the stock pulley...What is that about? I checked to make sure i had the right pulley, and I do. It just seems like it's going to need to be forced on. Also, the stock bolts do not fit...I'm confused. Does anyone have the 2 piece March pulley set?

I have a 94 Z28.

No one knows? I'm surprised no one has the March set.

The hole in the middle should be smaller than the stock one as it's supposed to fit inside the hole of the stock pulley. The stock bolts will not work as you need longer bolts. The march pulley should sandwitched between the stock one and the hub.

I just installed mine like two days ago, had to coerce it on with a rubber hammer but it wasn't that much of a pain.

huh? Are you saying i keep the stock pulley on and add the march? So wait a min, how is it supposed to go on? I take the stock pulley off, then take off the balancer, then put the march pulley in, then put the balancer back on? Is that what your saying? Also, i know you need different bolts. They came with the pulley set and they are longer.

You can't use the stock belt by the way, you need a smaller one.

So, the old pulley stays on? Do you have a picture or something? I have no idea why im so confused. I just looked at it yesterday and i thought you just removed the stock pulley and put the new March in it's place...

What does crank > little > big mean? Sorry if you think im stupid, i guess i'm having one of those confused moments...

You have the Hub where it all bolted too. What you do is remove the Bolts and the Factory Pulley, set the little one on there to where all the bolts line up, then put the Factory one on over that one. Then you bolt it back up.
