I just stumbled on a simple tip to make installation of
the split waterpump pulley easier. I used to fumble for a long
time before getting the two pulleys, the shims and hubs all
aligned so I could put the three bolts in.

Insight: On the 40mm waterpump one pulley bolt can be threaded in
from the back side. It only works if the pump shaft is at a
particular angle. The bolt then acts as a guide pin to put on
first the Alt pulley, then the split pulley and shims. Next step thread
in the two other bolts. Take out the guide pin bolt and reinstall
from the front.

I must have done this procedure dozens of times without figuring
out this trick. Hope it helps someone.
