stripped snout threads, no pulley on right now!!

Sounds like you got it, but If you ever have a have a machine shop press a pulley on be SURE they dont press on it without the shaft supported. The support should be on the center of the shaft were the coupler hooks up. If they press it on without the shaft supported it can push the shaft down in the housing or damage the bearings. All of the support needs to be on the shaft as if the snout housing was not even there.

If I were you Id get an MPS so you never have to do this again.

i totally agree. Dont let the press- on tempt you with the lower price haha i know money can be tight. ive pressed on two different pulleys on my car and one on someone elses with that damn tool and it seems like something ALWAYS goes wrong, drop the little Effin washer, strip the snout, strip one of the bolts, receive an all ready damaged tool, the list goes on.
