pretty much: -put car in reverse (for manual) -take stock belts off -take off stock bolt with impact gun or breaker bar with pipe for leverage -use three jawed puller to grab three inner tabs on stock pulley, and pull off -heat up new pulley in oven to 200 deg -slip on pulley and press on with old bolt, longer bolt, or threaded rod and nut/washer -torque old bolt to 240 ft-lbs and then remove -install new GM bolt and torque to 37 ft-lbs -turn bolt additional 140° (torque to yield bolt) -install shorter belts -drink beer https://ls1tech.com/forums/removed-locked-thread-graveyard/391883-new-crank-dampener-installation-tool-pics.html fwiw, I was able to slide my pulley on far enough after heating it up so that I could grab at least 3-4 crank threads to pull it on. Threaded rod is the safest bet though. |
All i can say is use threaded rod for the install.. It will save you a ton of headaches |
Heat it up for an hour or so. It will slip on so that you can get 6-8 threads of the old bolt in. Then torque it down and follow the procedure above for the new bolt. Nice to see the oven method mentioned. I have done this about a dozen times. Works like a charm. Y'all did make fun of me when I posted this a few years back though. :) |
what does this rod bolt look like yall used to get the pulley back in? and what are my options on gettin this sucker back on there? do i have to get a new GM Bolt?? any more advice or tips would be great here i plan on doing this thursday or friday. |
and what are them 3 threads on my new pulley in the middle, with the holes.? |

Good luck,hope you have better luck than i did,we broke two pullers trying to get that thing off,but after its off its a breeze. |

do i need a new bolt???? |
yes you need a new bolt...they are stretch to fit bolts, so after removed they arent the right size anymore |
sweet good thing i didnt dig into it tonight like i was goin to cus i was just goin to reuse the stocker, probably would of been racing and the damn pulley would of shot off at 150mph |
This tool is great for balancer installs: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=391883 Might want to get an ARP crank bolt, then it can be reused. |
thanks for all the help guys i went to auto zone and rented a harmonic ballencer install kit which is very similar to that home made one, i also got the puller, im about to attempt it here in a few. gthanks again |
