LS Crank Pulley Install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm at my wits end. I need to reinstall my pulley, but it won't slip on far enough for the original bolt threads to catch. I've tapped it lightly, but don't want to brute force it on their for obvious reasons. I don't have a torch to heat it. I rented the kit at O'Reilly's. It doesn't reach. I really don't want to spend $60 for a tool I will use once.

I went to fastenal to make my own. They only have 3' of all thread. By the time you buy all the pieces it gets too expensive to make that approach work.

Any other ideas? Anyone have the LS tool laying around?

It shouldn't be this hard LOL
