Hi,
Just bought a second hand X5 and stripped it down to rebuild over the weekend. I noticed that the X5 slipper pulley isn't round so dropped the XX-4 part in, however I can't get the spur gear to run true.
The slipper shaft is slightly smaller then the hole in the centre of the spur, so the spur runs out of round and moves up and down affecting gear mesh. Is this normal? The spur is a white machined one, no idea how many teeth as it doesn't seem to be marked (and there are way too many to count!).
Any tips or do I need a new spur?
Regards,
Ian

Not sure I follow on the pulley thing, they only come in 1 size which is the same as the stock X Factory ones. I run the 17t xx4 centre pulley as unfortunatly the stock X factory one is not perfectly round. That and a hold down roller in front of the pulley makes a MASSIVE differene to how slack you can set the belt with zero skip.
