yeah the fan pulley.

its in 2 peices and u sandwich the shims in between them to make the adjustments.

the front peice comes off when u undo the nut. the rear peice of the pulley is rock solid attached to the genny shaft.

Nick,
Check really carefully for bruises on the rear half around shaft and signs of rust. I already screwed one pulley half totally as it was rusted to the shaft and the two jaw puller promptly deformed it. Wound up slicing it off.

Sean
