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.
I got a replacement pulley at the LBS today but they didn't have the right bolt. That's ok, I found one that worked at the hardware store.

Installed it tonight with loctite, I'm good to go.
