If you're getting that same rumble from the front right case again I think I'd be gutted but I'd have to have another look.....and buy a new tab washer from AJ Suttons for a few pence........unless it's a water pump bearing.

Once again thanks for the reply, have stripped again today and found exactly the same problem with the nut, however the locking washer was still as tight as when it was re fitted last time?? I did a little more digging this time with the nut and washers out the way, the three gear wheels on the shaft move a little on the woodruff key and shaft ?? Is this normal for xt's as all the keys I've seen in the past have locked whichever pulley,/gear they have been holding on solid, even with the nuts etc removed.
