Great looking work there 68 sat, but doesn't the pulley need to be pressed on before the case is reassembled so as to support the rear of the rotor?



Yes it does. You will need to split the case apart again before you press the pulley on. Otherwise you will damage things. By the way, nice job restoring that, it looks great! And congratulations on doing it yourself, much more personal satisfaction when you complete a job like that on your own.
