Pulley Guide – Installation of Pulley
Now lets’ have an insight into how a pulley is installed and removed!
To start with check the groove of pulley and make sure that there is no sharp edge that can injure you and all the edges are in compliance with the standards.

Now clean the surface of the driveshaft, place the pulley to a predefined place of the axis, now see the V-belt pulley whether it is in harmony or not.
When you are working with the keyway just ensure to put it within the hub as it also should keep some space between the bore hub and the keyway.
Use DIN911 standard hex wrench and screw up the related mounting holes of all the bolt skipping alternate ones, simultaneously and evenly.
