    I'm guessing there's a long and a short bolt and you have them mixed up,
    or you have the wrong pulley at the top.

    Ok , I got it all in but the cogs arent turning , I think this might be
    because I glued the washers that sit in either side of them because they
    kept falling out when i was trying to hold it in place and tighten it up.
    Was this wrong ?


    Unfortunately yes, can you get the glue off?
    I'd go along with Chris and say you've got the pulley wheels and/or
    bolts mixed. The top pulley wheel should have a bit of side to side
    movement. When you're putting it back together do the top first, but
    only loose, then do the bottom, and finally tighten to the right
    torque, preferable with some thread lock
