If I was trying to sell you something, I would have posted a link to my F/S thread. It's been on this site long enough for most everyone to see. You are taking my reply way wrong. It's just that 99% of the people here will tell you to just use a bolt and that is not the right way to install a press fit pulley. It got so bad at one time that one of the owners of this site had to delete some posts. Here are some pics of what I sell. It makes no difference to me if you buy one or not. I sell plenty and once the batch I have made are gone, I won't be selling any more anyway.

I don't understand why you got all pissy there. I haven't even been argueing (sp?) with you. That sure as hell isn't a good way to get me to buy anything from you.

2xLS1 got beat up pretty bad in another forum about this. He didn't deserve it either.

Personally, I like his tool. ( did I just say that!?!?!

) I mean the installer.

For anyone reading this do not buy the JC Whitney installer. I got one and the threads on the bit aren't long enough to reach inside the crank snout. 2xLS1, if you still got another installer, I want one.

I just sold my last one and I have no plans to make any more. BTW did you buy the JCW tool on Robert Bartsch's recommendation? He was constantly posting in my F/S threads trying to get people to buy that tool instead of mine.

I just used, 30 minutes ago, 2xLS1's pulley install tool and it worked like a charm. The pulley was so easy to install I felt a little guilty because I didn't suffer at all.

Thanks 2xLS!!!

I think I'm gonna keep this thing just for the thrust bearing and find a threaded rod/bolt like yours. Put the thrust bearing with that and should make for a nice piece.
