How do I get the new pulley on? I've got the clutch coil on finally but now struggling to get the pulley on. Any suggestions?

Hi,

The pulley simply goes over the shaft and then needs to be drawn on. I use a slightly longer bolt that threads into the shaft, and a few washers larger than the OD of the opening on the pulley. When I tighten the bolt, the pulley is pushed into position.

They make a special tool to install pullies. When you put this together, make sure you don't miss the original shims.

Let me know if this helps.
