Power steering pulley position
I installed a set of CVF racing pulleys last weekend. Everything lines up pretty well but the power steering pulley is a little bit forward of where I think it should be and the v belt is a tiny bit offline. I have the pulley pushed as far back as the install tool will go because it's now hitting the shaft itself which is flush with the front of the pulley. I still have room behind the pulley on the shaft. Does anyone know if it would be alright to push it so that a small piece of the shaft would be past the front if the pulley? I think I can use the same install tool if I use a spacer to allow the shaft to move forward. Any ideas?

I got the pulley back to the position where all the belts are lined up as close to perfect as I care to get. I used the washer method and have a little of the shaft sticking out tge front of the pulley. I notice that there is a little bit of play in the forward and backward movement of the shaft into the pump itself, I would say maybe 1/8 of an inch. Is that normal? I never noticed it before. If it is normal what is the acceptable travel of that shaft into the pump?
