The installation recommendation is to only remove enough of the boss to clear the UDP while still retaining enough of the boss for future use.

This thread has relevant information and discussion. Do a search on "under drive pulley" and you'll find that this subject has been well discussed.

Thank you. Read the material... the boss... makes sense.

Cheers.
