Arp Underdrive Pulley Bolt Question
Any of you guys ever use this bolt? I have been told that you can reuse it and that is why I bought it. I got it today and I must admit, the head of it is unique. What did you use to torque it down with?

The torque is 190 lb-ft using the ARP Moly lubricant. Don't remember the socket size, but a 12 point is required. I think it is also SAE, not metric. Follow the service manual procedure using the old bolt, then when the requirement is to install the new GM bolt substitute the ARP and use these values.

I am not sure if I am going to use it, may just sell the ARP bolt. I am doing the install Friday and I will not have time to be hunting for the 12 point socket I will need. Plus, finding decent tools here in Charleston can be a challenge.

The bolt is designed to be re-used in that the stretch induced when tightening to the correct value will keep the material under its yield limit. Hence, it can be used again.

BIG THANKS FOR YOUR OFFER - if I didn't have one on order, I'd take it off your hands immediately.
Good luck
with your install, and with selling your ARP bolt! FYI, SDPC sells the ARP assembly lube - PM me if you need their phone number and the part number.

2001 coupe, I'm installing a USP underdrive crank pulley and I AM using an ARP pulley bolt (new, never used) -
Question - per above, you say torque the ARP crank bolt to 190 ft lbs using the ARP lube (I've got the ARP lube
) - Am I supposed to torque to 190 ft lbs, PERIOD (ie: do I forget about the FACTORY requirement to torque to angle once the initial torque limit is reached?)Another Question: Since I'm supposed to use ARP lube on the ARP crank bolt, I assume that I DO NOT also use red locktite on the crank bolt, CORRECT??? I'm a little confused about whether or not to put locktite on the crank bolt or not -
Thanks for the help

ARP pully bolt can be reused,torque to 190 ft.lb. and no torque to angle ,with ARP lube,no thread lock. If your pully isn't pinned its a good idea to do it while you have the car apart. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...crank+pinning;)
