The pulley was very easy to replace. I would suggest that there is a notation attached to the pulley that you must use the old self-threading screws that are on the old pulley or you include new screws with the new pulley.

AFTER A SECOND CALL FOR BOLTS I WAS miffed.
June 06, 2021|None, Newberry, Michigan USA
I ask for 2 bolts to install from you. I was told it would cost me Over $37.00 for them to be shipped to me. I WOULD NOT PAY THAT/ That was just wrong. I bought the mandrel & bolt for Over $140. I had to shop elsewhere. Do you understand?
