got the pump mounted tonight. i had it mounted with SS fastners, but changed my mind and went with grade 8 as the washer on the SS was bending on the adjustable side before torquing. the grade only barely bent.

i did get the pulley mounted and also fitted the new retaining ring for the bearing, was a PITA to fit. see post above.

can anyone take a pick of the retain cap bolt for the pulley end. i just put a washer, lock washer, and 5/16 bolt, but i'm not sure that is right and i didn't see anything mentioned about it other then cap screw in the manual or parts diagram. i have it on with a SS faster for now, but i many replace with a grade 8 as the washer bent a bit on it again. i'm just wondering if i am not using the right combo of bolt/washer etc. the pulley doesn't actually seem to sit flush with the shaft at the end when you put it on, is that correct? ther is about 1/16 of an inch before it is flat with the flat part of the pulley.

i also found a 7/16 fiber washer at home depot, i have no idea if that is going to work or not, but it fit. if you guys think that wont work let me know.

enjoy.

Hank
