D2 idler puller (70mm) broke, threads seem stripped or is there a nut I'm missing?

Went to buy a D1 the other night and was on the highway, and noticed my battery light turn on, so I went to pull over and the steering was heavy. At that point I knew I lost the belt. Luckily the entire process was like 15 seconds so I didn't overheat. Anyway, the small idler pulley to the right of the alternator (not the one with the arm) pooped out its bearing. I picked up a new one and went to install it but as soon as I feel any snug-Ness it stops grabbing and comes loose. I'm not sure if the threads are damaged somehow (not sure as it took a decent amount of force to get the old one out and seemed ok) or if there is a nut that goes behind it to hold. Any advice is appreciated as I still have it on the side of the highway and would rather not trailer it home
