Need Help Installing Crank Pulley!!!! I need help getting the crank pulley on. I do NOT have a longer bolt available to put on. Is there any other way than banging the crap out of it with a hammer to get it started?
Re: Need Help Installing Crank Pulley!!!! FYI: I wouldnt touch it with a hammer.. it could throw off the balance of the whole crank <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
i just used a impact gun and it put mine on there just right

Re: Need Help Installing Crank Pulley!!!! It's started onto the crank... cant see the back part of the pulley that slides into the timing chain cover now. Just need to get it back a bit further and we should be able to start the threads and press it on.
We've tried a 2x4 with even pressure applied at the top and bottom and hitting it with a hammer in the middle. Thats not working now.

Re: Need Help Installing Crank Pulley!!!! when i did mine we tried boiling it, greasing it up, hitting it with a 2x4, nothing worked except the longer bolt
it would go on just enough to stay in place, but the stock bolt wouldnt thread on there to pull the pulley on

Re: Need Help Installing Crank Pulley!!!! Where did you get the longer bolt from???
I just made a Home Depot / Lowes run and they didnt have anything long enough. They had the 2.0mm thread but not a bolt long enough.

Re: Need Help Installing Crank Pulley!!!! You'll have to go to a bolt specialty shop or a place that sells all thread.

Re: Need Help Installing Crank Pulley!!!! When i was putting my stock pulley back on, I couldn't get it on for anything. I tried grease and tried using a 2x4 and a hammer. Nothing would get it on.
I ended up getting the pulley started on as best I could, made sure it was straight. Then I used a 15lb sledge and lightly tapped the pulley in the center. It went RIGHT on with that method. Just make sure it's on straight before you start pounding on it.

Re: Need Help Installing Crank Pulley!!!! yeah there is a fastener shop right by my house
pitch is 16x2, does have to be threaded all the way up, just the first 1.5-2", but it just hase to be longer than the stock one, get a bunch of washers as well, like 10-15 of them to use as a spacer so you dont thread too far into the crank
total price was like 6 bucks for mine

Re: Need Help Installing Crank Pulley!!!! I get two new crank bolts from dealer and weld a 5/8 x 4 in bolt to head of one , screw the welded crank bolt in to crank slide a socket( one that will just fit inside the pulley- to use as a guide to start pulley stright ) over the welded 5/8 bolt ,use this to pull the puller back on this way you are not puting much strain on the threads inside the crank
hope this helps Johnny
PS>>grind down the washer part of stock bolt

I used exactly this method to put my ATI one. Cold, it wouldn't go on more than half an inch. 30 minutes at 350°, a pair of oven mits, and it slid all the way on with zero force. let it cool, and run through the torque sequence in the manual. A torch will work as well, but careful of the rubber in the damper itself.
