If I was to use a 2-piece pully,I think I would use the LH threaded type & use some blue loktite on the threads& when its set up then tighten the ratchet.
I was forced to use the two piece, as someone welded the crank guide block to the crossmember on one side, I don't know why?? To get my pulley off, I pulled it forward and sawed it off with a Saws-All. I think the new pulley will work fine. It looks just like a stock when it's installed. (If my one critical Barner criticizes it, I don't give a s**t)
