    Crank question...

    A friend was doing an underdrive pulley swap on his truck and had the pulley bolt break off inside the crank, used an easy out to pull out the bolt but now has to rethread the inside of the crank. What size would it be? I've never heard of something like this, i thought it only happened with head studs

    That is why you're not supposed to reuse a torque to yeild bolt. Happens more often than you can believe. I can't remember the size, maybe Mean05 can help you out on this one.

    Forgot I have a manual here... M16x2.0 thread.
