i got a new ps pump and when i went to put the pully on the dam bolt snapped off inside it. so i re tapped it and now every size i went up the bolts were sliding through the threads. now i ran out of sizes to go up on taps and the pully is only half on what do i do!

here let me refrase the question is there any way to get the pulley on the rest of the way without killing the pump?

Bummer, dude

Only thing I can think of is that a GOOD welder, with a
tig unit, could weld in a bolt/stud. Put a few spot welds on 1 at a time,
which shouldn't heat the shaft up enough to cause internal damage.

If you were cutting new threads, that then pulled out, could you
have to big a pilot hole, so that there wasn't enough material
in the thread? Just askin...

Good luck

Unless it was a bottoming tap there would not be much threads. Bum deal looks like a new pump is the way togo.

As cheeeeeeeeeep as a pump is at the parts store, just go get another one.

i would just get another pump and start over .let me tell you how i do this; i mount the pump on the engine then i hold dry ice on the pulley hub while i heat the pulley slightly ,then using the proper tool i hurry the pulley on. it makes this job so much easier

I also make sure to clean up the shaft and the inside of the pulley really good with fine emery paper and brake clean. Smooth any nicks or dents in the shaft or pulley with a file.
