I was swapping the pulley last night and things went from bad to worse!
I was using a ZZP puller kit and somehow the bolt threads/nut stripped at the very end, the end piece is stuck in the bolt (the smooth/threaded plug).
Right now, there is no pulley on my supercharger.
The puller bolt is somehow stripped and there's a bolt that goes inside the nose of the bolt (that eventually attaches itself to the s/c snout)... that's stuck in the puller bolt!
The s/c snout is somehow stripped.... no clue how that happened... but because that's stripped, even if I did get to another pulley puller, I can't use it.
I think there are three things I can do:
1) try a thread cleaner and see if that works (don't have one though)
2) try to re-tap the thread for the stock thread size. (don't have a tap either, and haven't used one in 10 years)
3) take s/c snout off and take to machine shop to press the pulley on (might be the only option)
If this weren't my daily driver than it'd be ok.... but now I gotta hope it'll drive ok....
Sorry for the rant, I'm just trying to think out what I'm going to do to get this thing running properly again!
What do you think I could do?!
THANKS!
