Abstract
A method of imprinting a belt sheave without removal of an associated belt includes placing a knurling wheel of a tool against a circumferentially extending section of a sheave not in contact with the belt. The sheave is then rotated to induce rotation of the knurling wheel. A jack screw of the tool is actuated to bias the knurling wheel against the sheave for production of imprints upon the sheave.
