Yet another ARP Cank Bolt thread
Yet another ARP Cank Bolt thread OK, I searched the archives and I think I am more confused now, than I was before 
1. With a Lunati Crank and ARP Crank bolt, would I need to replace the crank bolt if I have to pull the pulley off for any reason? $26 vs $3 gets expensive if this needs to be done often.
2. Everyone recommends using a longer crank bolt to install the pulley, is teh ARP crank bolt longer? And is this the only one that is longer?
Thanks much,
David

the longer bolt is so that you engage enough threads to start to press the pully on.
once the pulley is most of the way on, remove the longer bolt, and finish up with the ARP bolt.
the ARP bolt is reuseable.
the pulley install bolt is reuseable, as a tool.

Thanks guys. That what I was thinking but I just wanted to clearify.
So, according to the parts manual, the stock crank bolt is an M16x2x103.
How much longer are we talking? and inch (~25mm) or more?
Thanks again,
David

Where the heck did you find metric rod stock? If I cant find a 6" (150mm) or longer bolt at the local bolt shop this weekend, then I will give you a PM.

if you use the longer bolt, and try to get it on all the way with it, the bolt bottoms out in the crank.
if you turn it hard, it jams in there, and is a royal pain to remove.
so you just need to use the longer bolt until you're ready to use the new GM bolt.
athough id just buy/make the allthread install tool... i just ordered one from someone on here..
