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.
