I am trying to get ths pully back on using the Pulley puller sent to me by 3800 Performance and I broke the 2 little bolts that hold the large bolt in place. I have about a quarter inch to go. I am using grease to keep everything moving for the bolt the Shaft is not moving I am using a bar to keep tension on the Belt so the shaft does not move. these are breaking right in the middle so it is not backing out on me. WHat do I do. Should I go and try to get a few more of these at the hardware store I guess is there a kind of harder metal I should look for.

You need to be more patient for help than three hours, champ.

How are you cracking bolts? Are you using the proper anti-seize on them? I am not sure what you are describing, but I would back them out and grab replacements from the parts store.
 
Was not tring to be rude or anything. Just had very limited time bacause today I am in Texas and I was trying to get it done yesterday. My car is down right now tried to take the pully off and back on again same results. Broke 2 more of those bolts and crushed one trying to get the oully off. Should it be this hard. I am going to try again on Friday. If anyone has anything to help. I am running out of ideas.

I wouldn't worry about him. Can you take a pic, might be easier to help you as Im not understanding your issue. From what I gather the pulley is only going on halfway and then snapping bolts? Where is this pulley from? At this point I would consider draining the s/c oil and pulling off the snout and then taking it to a machine shop and let them deal with it before you damage the shaft.
 
might be a good idea. I am not home right now and I am in Texas I will be home friday to try again. I will take a picture then.
 


Ok so I guess I am a Dumb ___. When I got the Pulley I took it out of the Box and on the box it says This side away from pulley. Well I guess I put it back in the Box upside down and so I was trying to put it on backwars. So when I Took it back off and Flipped it over. It went on. Imagine that. Lesson Learned I guess.
 
oh my god.. >.>

Your the guy that calls Tech Support saying

You: "MY COMPUTER WON'T TURN ON HELP ME HELP ME!"


Tech: "Is it Plugged in?"

You: "oh...."

Hey...it could of been worse like this guys GenIII that showed up to me last week.

For what ever reason, they thought it would be a great idea to finish the job of installing the pulley with a hammer.

Bolt removed was a grade 8, 5/16" size. Ya...thats a big cry away from a M8.

Not sure who played mechanic here...but they should have all their tools taken away. I was able to use my press to get the pulley off, but that snout is toast.

Atleast jacobmh27 is asking for help. :th_thumbsup-wink:

I would be injoying the new power but I am waiting for my computer to come from Overkill it will be here this week and now I am on my way to China for 3 weeks so the car is parked and I did take a few spins in the car but stayed off the gas I do not want anything to go wrong till I get the new Computer. there was nothing on the pullyey telling me what way it goes on so I had a 50/50 shot and as always I picked the wrong way. It looked like the right way to me. But I did not use a hammer and I took my time and stopped when I knew something was wrong. it is on now and THANKS FOR SOME PEOPLE ON HERE HVING MY BACK lol Thanks
 


In Japan waiting for my next flight I will find a postcard and post the Pic. I can not wait to get home and drive the car with the new computer. Just driving the car easy with the new pulley I felt a big difference in the Low RPM's
