VRP Belt Wrap kit Issue
Hello,

I am installing a very slightly used VRP BWK. After installing the pulleys, I noticed there was a fair amount of play, you can wiggle them back and forth. The bearings are fine, but it appears the pulleys were machined too deep, causing a gap between the bearing and the edge of the pulley. Has anyone else seen this? TIA, Mike.

I have never seen this. I personally would not use a pulley that has that much play in it. Can you add a spacer to reduce the play?
