I was reinstalling the generator that I just rebuilt and I noticed that the two piece crank pulley had some play between the pulley piece and the separate rear piece.

It is not a lot of play but I'm thinking that there should not be ANY play at all. The pulley bolt is tight so I am wondering why there is play??

Also--can I tighten that bolt with a socket and extension through the crank hole in the radiator shell--what size socket???

Any thoughts?
