I have an Al pulley with a setscrew hole that the threads are almost all stripped out. I was wondering if JBweld could be used to fill the hole then rethread.
I think a Helicoil leaves a tang blocking the hole so a set screw would not work? No room to rethread next to existing hole. It is keyed onto the shaft so I think the set screw is not that highly loaded. This is a custom pulley with a geartooth pattern on one side for indexing or I would just make/buy a new one.
