Crank Pulley Bolt? Ok help me out fella's need a Crank Pulley Bolt for my cam swap:
GM Part #12557840
Anybody know a place that will see the part WITHOUT the $11 handeling fee? It's a $3 bolt, plus the $11 handeling charge PLUS $4 shipping! outrageous! And that won't take two weeks to ship it?
Thanks guys!

Your local hardware or fastener store. 16mmX2mmX103mm is stock. You can use a longer one (120mm) to initally get the pulley started onto the crank snout unless you buy one of the nice pusher tools that are sold on this site.

Verdad Gallardo The tool becomes an even better deal if you're going to do multiple cam swaps. I got my longer bolts at a small mom and pop hardware store that serves the marine industry. This tiny little store that could fit in the corner of one of the big chain hardware stores, but has a much better fastener selection than the big stores ever did. Next time you remove the crank pulley try using a big allen head cap screw with some large flat washers under the head to buck your 3 leg puller rod up against. The allen head cap screw forces the puller rod to be self-centering. Without the cap screw the rod has a tendency to walk. Believe it or not some guys on this site have just bucked their puller rod directly up against the crank bolt threads(bolt removed). Next thing you know you're reading a post about how they've damaged their crank threads or got the puller rod wedged into the crank and they don't know what to do next. Someone with that level of expertise have a yard sale to get rid of their tools and just pay the extra cost to have someone who knows what they are doing install the cam for them.

I used a puller with a tapered cone force directly on the end of the snout. There was no way I could come anywhere near the threads.
Here's the longer bolt I was able to come up with.
