Not a picture but a short description:

  • remove the generator nut and spacer with 21 mm wrench and=20 a screwdriver (place the screwdriver to the slot in the front part=20 of the generator pulley to hold the pulley and axle in place)

  • take out the nut and possible shims under them

  • take out the rear part of the pulley

  • take 1 or 2 shims out from between the pulley halves

  • put back the rear part of the pulley

  • insert the shims that were there + the shims you took out from between the pulley halves behind the pulley

  • put the spacer and the nut back and tighten the nut rotating the pulley time to time back and forth to make the belt to raise properly on the pulley
