For future searches/info base its 3/8 x 16 coarse tpi.

Needed to press on a pulley and could not find the size searching. Tried a bellhousing bolt and walla.

Used a 2" 3/8 x 16 all thread bolt from hardware store (most hardware stores have these since the reg ones have a shoulder and wont work).

Put arp fastener lube on inside of pulley and ps pump shaft.

Heated pulley up with heat gun..not crazy hot ...around 120 or so, enough to play hot potatoe with.

I ran a nut up on the bolt and then 2 grade 8 washers.

I used the two washers a torrinton bearing from the hnr bushing tool between them.

Would work without bearing bit have more friction. I just used it since i had it.

Put arp lube between all those.

Placed waher assm up to nut and screwed bolt in until bottomed out then backed off half turn.

Run nut/washer assm down to pulley hib. Made sure pulley was square ...and oh yeah its still hot.

Then while holding pulley, ran nut down with 9/16 wrench until things aligned.
