I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have a tool similar to this for the crank pulley that could bring it by? I stripped the first 5 threads out of my crank trying to use the "long bolt", and now I'm up **** creek without a paddle because its my only car and I can't get the damn pulley on far enough to even catch the threads (I gave up being nice and used a 3lb mallet + 250* in the oven and its still 1/2" away from being all the way on). I can give you cash for gas money or whatever if someone is willing to bring one by. I'm in chula vista off the 805.

I am nowhere near you and the one I have is kind of messed up but it worked for me, helps alot if you put the pulley an the oven for a little while, it goes on real easy.
If you cant get one and can get out here ill lend you mine but thats quite a drive, im sure someone closer can help you out.

Thanks man, I'm thinking I'm going to have to rent a car to solve this issue. Unfortunately I don't live within 10 miles of anywhere I can rent one so walking is out of the question. I have a home depot across from me so I went there to look for threaded rod but all they have is standard, no metric stuff. I really don't know anyone around here to give me a ride either.

i have one, im in the bay though...if you want i could ship it to you and you could ship it back when your done?
btw i JUST went through this ordeal on my car (even bought a whole short block in a panic mode lol)
have you chased the threads yet and cleaned it all out? we did that to mine, my first 4-5 threads were fucked, chased the threads with a 16mx2.0 tap i believe and blew it all out wid compressed air...fit like a glove after.
