Pulley Bolt Replacement
Looking to replace stock pulley bolts with H-D chrome bolts. Tire is off bike - would you replace one bolt at a time while leaving the other bolts in or pull all bolts from pulley first?

I just had all 5 chrome pulley bolts snap off.
My Indy says that stock bolts are stronger. I'm going to take his word for it because all show quality bikes with 124" motors are using the stock bolts in the pulley.

Remove all the stock bolts, clean the bolt holes, install the chrome per instructions. Use red locktite, torque to ft/lbs listed, then turn additional # of degrees per instructions. I would not do it one bolt at a time as the torque values are different. Did it on mine, been fine for about 3k so far.

Chrome Pulley Bolts
Bad Tappet - thanks for the response. Sounds like the best way to install them.
Next In Line - wondering if they weren't installed as noted by the install sheet (e.g. 2 step torquing). I would expect the chrome bolts would have similar specs as the original equip or HD would be setting themselves up for issues.
Murphcc1 - meh... I meant Aarrgghh. I'd thank you but nothing really to thank...

I don't know if they were torqued down properly or not because I did not install them.
The MoCo's only responsibility is to make sure that the parts don't fail when used under normal (read: STOCK) applications. For example, if after upgrading to their SE Stage I kit and the chrome bolts fail, they are not responsible because the chrome bolts were made to 100% stock specs.
