    Why? Because they did. (and in 1996 so we have to get over it and move on)

      Not the answer i was looking for.. I know that they made the change. But in my world there must be a reason for that, but maybe not in yours! I'm just curious why they made the change.

        Does the washer help to stop the pulley key from breaking when you tighten the bolt? Since its a later addition it *should* be an improvement, no?

          If you use the correct locking tool to tighten the bolt, that will stop it breaking the key, the increased friction from the washer will help to prevent it moving when in use.
