Note: Before drilling holes, place a piece of metal between
the clutch and pulley. This will prevent drilling into the
clutch.

pulley (Fig. 5).
8. Install the screw (#6 x 1/2 inch) into the 1/8 inch hole
(Fig. 5). This will hold the template in place while
drilling the other two holes.
9. Using the template, drill the remaining two 1/8 inch
pilot holes into the pulley (Fig. 5).
10. Remove the template and the screw (#6 x 1/2 inch) and
discard (Fig. 5).
