Yup, have the same problem. You might have to grind the back side off a little.

think I remember using a washer, maybe a different bolt? I also could not use the metal cover guard as that rubbed on the pulley.

will check if you need more info

ASP Idler Pulley

Had no problem. The ASP pulley was a direct replacement and existing MB bolt was reused.

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
The stock bolt works, just the front metal dust guard cannot be used. I would prefere the dust guard to be utilized but the pulley is not machined for this. No spacer is needed.

The OEM bolt works perfect with the pulley, and sits on the bearing. No need for the dust shield with the shielded upgraded bearing ASP uses...

Took me a few minutes to digest but worked great without the shield.
