I’m already using this as an excuse to get an underdrive pulley. > [@How does one measure wealth](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-does-one-measure-wealth/32801/44): > > Can you weld something to whats left of the pulley. soak in some PB blaster and try tapping it with a hammer. > > Post a picture of how it is cuurently left I dont own a welder so thats not really an option (unless I can find someone out here to loan me one).
