This Pinion Pulley Replacement Procedure will enable you to ascertain whether you need to upgrade the pinion pulley, how to do it and what tools will be needed. I've tried to spell it out for beginners like me, so I apologise if it is a bit basic for advanced spanner jockeys!

Please let me know if you spot any mistakes or omissions.
