Cant get ps pulley on

Cant get my pulley to go back on and i am so frustrated with this crap. First off the loaner tool i got the bolt that puts the pulley back on would only thread on to my pump side ways. Then i found a bolt just like it that i had and i used that. I got the pulley half way on the then it would not budge at all. Tried tapping with a hammer with little luck. Then while really torquing on it i snapped the damn bolt off. I got it out tho. Now i dont know what to do. Im so mad right now im ready to burn the truck so sick and tired of it.

Is the pulley metal or plastic ? If it's metal put it on a hot plate for a little while. A pair of welding gloves or pliers and it will slide right on.

You can do that just be careful not to warp it. Just keep your flame moving and not concentrated. It should be ok.

LMFAO. I've never had the guts to try that. I have rebuilt carbs at the kitchen table using a cake pan.

lol, no worse then setting up a table in the living room to grind heads, (hey it was raining outside, lol) but most definitely heating up the pully will get it right on.

I had a wiring harness out and was doing a MASS Air conversion. I used a soldering iron for places where I needed to solder wires. When I would set the soldering iron down (the tip was still in the air) the heat would melt small areas of the carpet. You can tell where I sat on the carpet to do this. Well since I burned the carpet once, there was no harm in doing it again so I did a second harness
