There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Front pulley bolt - reuse or replace?

The torque spec is 110 ft/lbs - about the same as a lug nut. You replace lug nuts/wheel studs after each use? (Maybe some of you do.) All it does is keep the pulley on the splined shaft; the pulley splines bear the actual torque load. Buy a new one if you want peace of mind. (Replace those wheel studs regularly, too.)
Unfortunately, regarding Spyders, there is a lot of misinformation that once started perpetuates to the level of incorrect but believed as fact, when it is entirely incorrect. said PMK.
The above is one such example. The purpose of the bolt is to provide sufficient clamping force of the pulley to the shoulder of the shaft so that the splines do not transmit the load. This was stated a decade ago in a TSB by BRP when pulley splines first started to wear/strip 'due to inadequate clamping force.' At that time the bolt torque from the factory was 88ftlb iirc.
"It's not my logic DSG, it's that of BRP engineers."
That does not fly. Said it, now own it.
" Like yourself, most folks on here these days haven't been around the forum long enough to know the history. "
Having been on the runway for a longer time does not equate to airworthiness. Still grounded, but not in reality.
Lastly, Gaslighting in print doesn't work.

OFF TOPIC. Thanks for the tips DSG. :bowdown: I'll put em where they belong. You're obviously a very experienced airman - and smarter than the average bear too.
I had to look this up - shows what a dummy I am eh. Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person or group makes someone question their sanity, perception of reality, or memories. I'm not sure how that's relevant, other than it's a projection, but it apparently makes you feel good to say so and that's important to you.

Ride safe. :cheers:
Let's get back on topic now.
