Second time writing this out, first time I had a huge burning pcb smell right as I was about to hit post. Shutdown my pc and it just turned out to be a lightbulb. I forgot the new ones make that smell on their way out.
So here we go again. Yeah I used the spacer, though it was about the width of that spacer that was left showing on the bolt. But yeah I'd definitely used it.
Anyway I used the starter trick (oooooh sooo carefully!) to remove the not-quite-fitted bolt, getting the hang of it now! Won't be so scary when I have to do it on the Defender! Careful measurements with the calipers and thread guides found the measurements of the pulleys to be identical and the bolts to be almost identical. Only difference being the new one has about 3 threads less down the length of its shaft. However you can see the threadlock hasn't been disturbed far enough down for it to have made a difference?
Not really sure what to do next. Maybe have an inspection of the bolt hole and clear out any debris carefully with a pick? Find out the exact thread and size to buy a tap to clean it out with?
I've included a picture, new bolt is on the right. I feel they're similar enough for the problem to lie elsewhere.
