and I'm guessing I should use an impact gun to put it back on, right? or can I just use my near-man-like strength?

 

You can put in on by hand if you have a "Strap wrench" to keep the pulley from turning.



Shim Stock: Shim is VERY thin metal of a known thickness to adjust stack heights of machined assemblies.



I am ordering some stuff from ENCO, If you can wait a few days I will cut you out a couple shims and send them to you. John

 

would there be a problem if I could use the aluminum grinding bit with the dremel and take a bit off the alternator housing where it's rubbing?



and luckily, I do have a strap wrench, for the bike oil filter

 

No, you can gring the alt housing down

 

um....please clarify...you kinda contradict yourself in that statement

 

There is no problem doing a slight clearance grind on the alt housing

 

thank you!



and you'll have to excuse me, sometimes I get a little stupid....I failed to read your answer as a direct answer to my question ("would there be a problem...?" "no...")
