you need the spool axle that comes with the MRE. then the 37 pulley is a perfect fit.

the sleeves don`t fit anymore, because the diff bearing holder is thicker.
you need to shave about 1mm .

Hi, nice that the spool worked!
Just looked at the pictures again and thought that shaving the sleeves mayby isnīt the optimal solution as they can move and rub against the bearing holders. Instead file down the lip of the bearing holder ~1mm. Sure the bearing holder may get a little thin at the nobbs on the lowside but as the diffs on 416 is run in high heigth it shoudnt be problem. The bearing holders are the same ones that are used on 501x and they are ran low on that car.
