Powerbond Pulley and stock bolt Okay, first of all, I searched. I bought the 25% underdrive pulley from Texas-Speed and I'm using the stock bolt from my '00 WS6. It's like I'm supposed to be using a smaller bolt. The pulley needs to move in another 1/16" or so and the bolt just feels bottomed out. I've given it a couple extra cranks but now I think it is twisting the bolt and about to shear so I'm afraid to turn it anymore.
Bottom line, everything I've found says that I'm using the right bolt, but it just doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

I just installed mine the other day with 618HAWK's tool; it went on smooth as silk. https://ls1tech.com/forums/removed-locked-thread-graveyard/391883-new-crank-dampener-installation-tool-pics.html I've never installed one without the tool, so I can't really help you too much.

I used another, longer bolt to get it started. I've done this before, with the stock pulley and didn't have a problem. But now with this Powerbond I'm wondering if it's the same depth. Dangit! This is going to hold up my build all weekend!

How did you get the powerbond on? I'll be putting mine on here shortly, just wondering how you went about doing it?
thanks

Hey Barry,
Yeah, I did get it on. I had to add a couple of washers to my longer bolt tool that I already had to get it on all of the way. I figured out that the stock bolt was starting to stretch before it pulled the pulley all of the way on. It really wasn't a big deal. I don't have the specs on the longer bolt but you can search for it. You'll need one large washer that meets with the face of the pulley and then a bunch of smaller ones to use as spacers between the large washer and head of the bolt. I think I needed a total of 8.
