You should check the bearings in the pulley put a bold through the pulley. Then try to see if there is any play in the bearings by wiggling it. If there is no play then spin the pulley on the bolt to see if you hear any noise coming from it. It should spin easily with not much friction. Also...

Could you use a short self tapping bolt?

If your serial number falls in the range I would try to get it replaced if they will replace it. You’ll get a brand new one and you did have the recall issue.

Pliers with really thick rubber handle or just tie a zip tie to it and pull the zip tie
