Good luck, best to use blue loctite or equivalent on those pulley bolts since they will often bind the pulley if tightened really tight. Blue loctite is the type that lets a bolt be removed fairly easily.
Thanks Pine Cone, good to know!

I do have loctite at home, was thinking that earlier. That bolt had never been off before as far as I know. Must be all that jostling around in the suitcase.
