Normally I wouldn't contradict you on something like this Otto because I know that you know your
sheet...
However I would refrain from using a chisel since the front pulley on most Opels is made from stamped steel and is very fragile, and striking it as such can easily bend/distort it, creating a wobble. On a cast-iron pulley (such as on A/C equipped cars), this would be acceptable however.
I prefer to use a triangular file and make a small notch to locate the timing marks on the edge of the pulley, as
such.
