New Crankshaft Pulley Prob

[Monday]

I tried to install my new crank damper today and it just wouldn't go on. Has anyone dealt with this? Pretty sure "Yes" Do you have a trick, tip to share?

I would beg/borrow a pair of inside and outside micrometers. My self I would not want to take a chance on damaging the crank if I wasn't sure. But as above pointed out they are a tight fit and once started pulled down by the bolt.

Put it in the freezer for about 45 minutes before you install. Your welcome

I ended up popping it in my oven for ~twenty minutes at 350, and then it slid (a little work) right on. I got the anti-seize on and some M-1 on the washer and end of the bolt before hand... 118 foot pounds and presto!
Thank-you for your replies ✌
