Am I screwed? R90 install issues

Was upgrading to an r90 pump last night from my stock r70, pump puller tool wouldn’t thread into the sprocket all the way. Got about 2-3 threads, as I push in the Jack bolt I hear a pop. Thinking the pump finally popped from the sprocket I pull on it and it’s still tight. But my tool is completely loose. Pulled it out and it had jumped off of those 2-3 threads. Ordered an Amazon pump puller which has reviews saying that it sucks, however it was free overnight instead of 60 bucks for a tool from ecs. The Amazon tool didn’t thread in. Hoping the threads on the sprocket aren’t damaged, has anyone been in the same situation as my dumbass? I’m going to get this ecs tool, hopefully the Amazon tool was just low quality. If not has anyone tapped the sprocket inside the motor? Or do I give up and leave the r70 in it.

Yeah. As someone has had almost this issue happen a few times.. you probably did cross thread your hpfp sprocket.

What would be your plan of action
?335dlci I’m hoping this real tool actually threads but if she doesn’t do I try and fit a tap in there? I guess I have no other choice

That will be a real big tap. M20 is my guess with fine threads.
Go to Ace h/w with that pump tool and find the nut that fits on it. This will tell what tap to look for. I would say cleaning up threads is your only chance. Good luck.
