Are we seeing things differently? I see quite the opposite. The further the bearing sits into the pulley, until it is flush with the snap-ring the further it will slide onto the shaft until it meets the step in the shaft where the shims would go, if the fit was too close and needed more space. As I said, it seems to be performing better than it was with the larger gap. Thanks for the input 180.
I agree with what you are saying in general but that is not what you said before.
We were able to bang the bearing into the pulley slightly deeper allowing for a slightly closer fit of the pulley
To hit the snap ring the bearing has got to be farther out, because it went in from the snap ring end.
The bearing sits in the same position on the SC shaft, so only the pulley can move forward or back by a very small amount due to the tight tolerances. I estimate the total amount of movement as less than .003".
