So I started the thread how to know if the pulley is all the way seated because it was so hard to get the pulley on. Turns out I stripped out the first few threads of the crank when first starting pulling it on and I kept going. Took the bolt out and the threads on the bolt were GONE. So I looked inside the crankshaft and every last single thread is stripped and almost no threads left. Don't ask me how I'm so fuc**** dumb because I don't know. ANYWAYS now what am I going to do now? I have no idea how I am going to completely rethread the crank??? Never been soooo pissed. Someone please let me know what I have to do as soon as possible.

many have used this one without any problems
or Drill it out, and step up to a bigger bolt as suggested above and as I said as well..

What tool were you using??? I have only installed the LS damper a couple of times and it was not hard at all, very Smooth. I used the HAWK tool.
The metal shavings are somewhere...Are you positive that threads cant be chased?

Thanks guys. I was soooo pissed when i found out. I shoiuld have known it shouldn't have been NEARLY that hard to pull it on. If I do the helicoil will I be able to use the same size bolt? Also can I get the helicoil kit locally at like autozone or oreilys or hardware store maybe?

Get the helicoil for a 16x2.0 (mm) and a new crank bolt.
