Just an FYI to anyone doing this, make SURE you use all thread that is as high of a grade as you can. The one I bought originally must not have been very high because it snapped and was ALMOST a huge problem. Thankfully it snapped with enough sticking out to back it out.


I found another bit of all thread that was grade 10 and I had no problems with it. Although I will say this, for anyone doing this, don't be alarmed if you hear a "popping" sound while tightening it towards the end. When I heard this at first I was scared, but my friend was watching the pulley as I was tightening it and when it "popped" the pulley moved in more. Basically its not a bad thing to hear.
