Any write up's on Installation Of underdrive pulleys?
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

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.

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.

That's what you use if you need to pull it off again. You have to use a different type puller.

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.
