Default NEED HELP FAST!!!!

I finally got my UDP's off and I am going to put the stock crank pulley back on but the steeda install bolt stripped at the end and the stock crank pulley bolt is to short to reach because the pulley isnt on enough!!!! My father said if its bad the holes just need to be re threaded which isnt hard but wtf how do I get the crank pulley on!!!!! HELP PLEASE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DAMAGED!!

You just need to use a thread chaser on the crank, and to get a longer crank bolt. I believe they are torque to yield meaning you don't want to reuse them anyways.

The crank threads are generally very tough. I've yet to strip one on any engine I've assembled/helped assemble. Clean the threads with the chaser and you should be okay.

Ok guys thanks for replying!!! Everything worked out fine and it just turned out that the steeda install bolt wasnt fully in so it damaged the first 2 threads on the bolt NOT THE CRANK, so I lucked out.

Rented one of the crank installers from local auto parts store, making sure the crank got on far enough before pulling it all the way in with the crank bolt. Getting it far enough to get the bolt started is a pita!
