Found mine at ACE hardware.

I couldn't find the threaded rod so I just settled for the longer crank bolt. I found it at a business that only sells nuts and bolts..

Horror stories all over the site about the longer bolt method!

I'll take a piece of wood and a rubber mallot any day over the longer bolt.

The best tool is a prpane torch heating the center of the stock pulley up a tad to slide it all the way on with it even seating with a bolt....$30 bucks max at the store...

I've got a piece of threaded rod. I dont understand how you get a socket over the long piece of rod or a wrench down inside the pulley to turn that mother on the crank.
