I GOT IT OUT, SHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEW!!!! i started to use it like a tap, in some then back it out, did that 2 times and it came out with little force. the last 3 threads on the bolt are broken off, used a magnet and they were in piece in the crank and i pulled them all out. im working on cleaning the cranks up and then im gonna run a tap through it.
after that im gonna get a rod and correctly seat the pulley the rest of the way. if anyone has any other pointers on what to do for these next things let me know so i dont screw up again and can fix it so i can use the threads in there now. it seems only the last 3 threads were boogered up. the stock bolt will thread in by hand up until the point where the longer one started to mess up. thanks for all the help guys, its much appreciated!

You have to understand I tried to sell cheap (compared to what you are facing now) pulley install tools here and got reamed for doing so.

Very weird. I wonder if some of the new ASP pulleys are different b/c mine went on the nose of the crank pretty far. I didn't even heat it up. I was able to get 3-4 threads started with the STOCK bolt by HAND. Pulled it on nicely.

Never once used a longer bolt, that sucks! Glad you got it out and done!!
