    so im trying to put my mod pulley system on and for some reason I got the pulley off but I cant get it on I noticed like 2 helicoils on the bolt thread but seems to me the 5/8 inch bolt you use to use the hub install is cross threaded I believe the person before me at zzp cross threaded it before me now I cant get the allen key to catch on the inside of my sc snout any suggestions?

    Are you talking about the shaft in the middle?




    I bought a used one for myself and when I went to make sure everything worked the inner threads for the main shaft was a little cross threaded. I had to take it to work and have one of the techs use a tap/dye kit and fix the threads. the little allen head bolt that goes into it to install a hub is a little loose going in, but once its all the way in its tight.

    Might be a way to fix yours, the cross threading is usually only on the first couple threads anyways so it should be easy to fix.

    Unless were talking about to separate things.

    Just get a m8x1.25x60mm or so with a few washers and just blast it on the snout, had to do that once in a pinch and it worked fine.

    They probably are going to give you a new hub. You shouldn't have tried hammering it on.

    You shouldn't have tried to put it in if the tool was messed up especially with a hammer
