Also to add to the pully issue check them for damage and that theyre not buckled or the recess is damaged or blocked with something causing it to jump out and that the dish of the pully is also not bent.
If no luck there mover the pullys and watch them as they spin giving you an idea as if to it being buckled which doesnt appear when forst looking at it
Good luck mate

I've got washers on my PAS pump - well,
now
its not individual washers, but 3 solid spacers. It will put more strain on the bearings long term, but as long as the washers are equal size - I wouldn't give it any grave concern.
