VF Engineering Supercharger Shaft Diameters

Dammit! Wish I would have know BEFORE pressing this pulley onto the shaft that VF accidentally painted the shafts, thus making the shaft diamters too wide! Pulley is crooked. This photo shows the finger positions for marking where I have to drill into the SIDE of the pulley to get it off. What a cluster-@$!#*

Why the hell are the bearing shafts painted black too? The diameter is now too thick for the bearing to slide on! Forget sandpaper... you have to take a file to the shaft to bring it back down to specs.
