I had about 40 people who saw enough value in it to buy it. Again it was posted that the JCW tool will not work on a LS1. Looks like you are wrong again. Doing a search on many of your other posts and the replys you get, it looks like 99% of the people on this site don't give a rats *** about anything you post here. How come you don't seem to have a problem with the Larry spring tool being sold here? I'm done.

BTW, 2xLS1 had our permission to sell his simple crank tool here. I even have one myself and it works perfectly. I'd sure as hell trust a hardened stud over some crappy taiwan JC Whitney crap. I don't care about it not working on the neighbor's subaru.

I was very grateful that 2xLS1 had put together the tools and was offering them for sale. I was putting my car back together, and the last thing I wanted to do was experiment with odd-ball tools, or run down the materials to make my own tool. Just a couple clicks of the mouse and my tool was here the next day, and my pulley was safely installed in a couple minutes. Great service, great tool! What more can you ask for? Thanks again dude!!

My question is does heating up the pulley really make it that much easier to put on? Do you run any risks in heating it with a propane torch slowly and thouroughly?
That would make sense to me doing it that way. Heat it enough to slide it on pretty easily and then use the new bolt to torque it down to specs. Seems like a lot less stress on the snout of the crank.
Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

For those of you wanting a tool like 2xLS1's, just fyi,
Here is my experience. I was able to have one made for me at a bolt, screw supply shop. Around here, it is called Mac Bolt and Screw.
Anyway, they sell threaded rod by the inch and cut it for me. The price was very reasonable, around 7.00 for the rod, nut and washer. They did not charge for cutting it either.
Instead of going to Lowes or somewhere else and being forced to buy 1M of this stuff and cut it yourself, you should look around and see if you have a business like Mac around your area as it could save you some money.
