The grease lets you know before you get it too hot, and it lubes the seal when you slide the pulley through the seal.

Haha. Smartass! Always gotta be a smartass! Good info though! Next time ill do it right.

Dude, you dont know how many times i have grabbed something i welded a minute prior with my bare hands. Youch!

It's not hot, it heavy. That's why he puts it down so fast

yep. put it in there for like 10 minutes. checked it with the infared thermo thing till i thought it was hot enough to put on. no sparks or nothing. i did have a shop rag in there that caught on fire the first time i put the pulley on. i done it 3 times so it wont mess anything up. just dont use the microwave you plan on warming food up with of course

We took a bottle of that Laptop cleaner (compressed CO2 in a can ) and turned it upside down and sprayed the crank snout on the last camswap on my truck. I still had to whop the **** out of it with a block of wood and a hammer....
