whats the easiest way to get crank pulley on? what kind of wire is used to hold oil pump bolts? THANKS

with the crank pulley I make sure all surfaces are clean and then I use lots of antiseize on everything because I know I will be the next guy working on it later. gently help the pulley on with a rubber hammer or use a block of wood against the pulley with a small hammer. I broke my last one using a hammer directly on the pulley. luckily it was a parts tractor and I didn"t need the pulley but I still hate breaking good parts. make sure the key way and groove are clean and slide easy. the wire that goes through the oil pump bolts didn"t look like it was anything special just holds them so they don"t come loose.similar to the rolled electric fence wire at fleetfarm. make sure the tied part doesn"t interfere with the oil pan when you put that back on.

the wire is steel locking wire that you buy in a roll and is specific for this, and uses special pliers that twists the wire.

maybe a previous owner messed with my swd9 prior to my purchase because the wire didn't seem any different and definitely no special twist job on the wire knot
