once you burn a supplier publicly why would he help you? it was best to talk to him directly with facts and measurements Nate is an honest guy. The way i see it you have burned him so why would he help you. And the more this goes on, and good guys like Ralliartist call you out on it, then you are stuck. I cant help you with Nate, its up to you to convince him that rubbishing him online was not your intention, even though you folks did so...i have had difficulty installing hubs without a bearing on the thrust side of the install tool, and best results I used a snap on electric impact gun on the tool head to drive the hub on. Just pressure with a large johnson bar did not work for me...and those tolerances you have quoted i am confident i could install that hub on an M62 supercharger...

Nate is a stand up guy, so he messed up once, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
Hell I went to my back to my 3.1" pulley last weekend, when removing the 2.9" we noticed that 2 bolts were broken in the hub and broke a 3rd taking it out. Now this was probably my fault, could have been faulty parts..who knows. I called Nate, stopped by his house. He pressed off and on a new hub at no charge, because of the fault..
Ever heard of the commercials on the radio about "genuine guys".. Nate is one

Not disputing Nate's character at all. It was a shame everybody was jumping my butt because of a faulty product. It cost me a lot of time and a lot of money, I still don't have my 2.9" on because of it. If there's anybody near Knoxville who wants to volunteer to put my pulley on and tune it for free, I'm all ears.

We had to take the snout off of my blower to press that bitch on. I honestly thought it was too tight, it broke my uncle's power steering pulley puller. Don't worry man, you ain't the only one.

Yep, we used the bolt that fits the shaft thread, and welded it to a huge screw and used washers and bushings with an impact and it took 4 hours to move the hub on 7/16"...and then we broke the damn power steering pulley puller and had to remove the snout...it was a COMPLETE BITCH...NEVER NEVER wanna go through that crap again..I think his tolerances were off on this one too.
