We installed the pulley exactly how it was stated in ASP's directions (torqued down to spec) and I haven't had any issues. It might be possible some people are over torquing the bolts? I am not sure.....
It's not a bad idea................it's WRONG to re-use the OEM crank bolt. ASP didn't manufacture and/or sell the crank bolt and that's their "bad" for not informing their customers of such a requirement. Maybe they figured the pullies would be installed by trained techs. who know that that bolt is one time use.
