I was trying to install the pulley and when i was tightening the bolt for the pulley i stripped 1/4 inch of the thread. Will i have to re-thread the crank or is it possible that just the bolt stripped?

 

Not to add salt to your wound but it has been stated again and again - do not use the stock bolt to pull the pulley on. If it's just a 1/4 inch, just clean up the threads on the crank, get a longer bolt or better yet - threaded rod and nut and wahers - pull the pulley on, tighten it down, then put the new bolt in and torque it down.

 

I would use an old bolt and clean out the threads. Then get a piece of threaded rod and some washers and a nut to pull the pulley back on

 

Bake the pulley in the oven at 200 degrees for an hour. It will slide on far enough that the stock bolt wil have plenty of threads to grab. (assuming you are able to clean up the damaged threads)

 

thanks guys ill clean the threads and put the pulley in the oven tomorrow

 

just curious where you guys got the threaded rods and what threads you need to get? thanks alot

 

I got my threaded rod (1m length), bolts and washers from macmastercar.com

I have a pretty good system for taking it off/putting it on.

 

i dont think the link is working.... you sure thats right? thanks again

 

Never ment it to be a link but here it is spelled correctly

Actually, didn't realize you were from NJ. They are actually in NJ.

 

What thread size/pitch is needed?
