Hi Chris Locktite 601 I think is the stuff but will double check when I get into workshop. Clean the shaft & pulley with Thinners. Slide the pulley onto shaft just clear of it position, then run a bit of Loctite onto the shaft, slide pulley into position & rotate slightly to spread locktite. Hold for about 1 min, set in 3 hours, fully hardened in 24 hours. After which you will need a blowlamp to get it off. Will double check the Loctite number later.
