Claim Text:
1. A laser alignment system for checking alignment of components of a pulley system of the type having a pair of pulleys intended to each be disposed in a substantially identical pulley plane, the laser alignment system comprising: a first laser alignment tool having; a tool body having an arcuate front surface, an opposed rear surface and a side mounting surface extending therebetween, the arcuate front surface having a target pattern thereon; and a laser light source operable to produce a planar laser light beam projecting from the arcuate front surface in a plane parallel to the mounting surface; a tool body having an arcuate front surface, an opposed rear surface and a side mounting surface extending therebetween, the arcuate front surface having a target pattern thereon; and a laser light source operable to produce a planar laser light beam projecting from the arcuate front surface in a plane parallel to the mounting surface; wherein when the mounting surface of the first laser alignment tool is disposed against a first pulley of a pulley system and the mounting surface of the second laser alignment tool is disposed against a second pulley of the pulley system, the position of the planar laser light beam of the each laser alignment tool relative to the target pattern on the other laser alignment tool is indicative of whether the pulley system is in alignment.
