Rubber mallet?

 

Well, I used a small pry bar very carefully and took my time with it to remove mine. No problems, bends or cracks.

Just put a peice of rubber on the back side of the pulley and work around it with the pry bar in a circular motion (or one side to the other). Continue going back and forth until it comes off.

Do not get impatient here though, you dont want to f up your pulley.

Oh yeah, a little PB Blaster or similar lubricant wouldnt hurt either. smile.gif

Good luck.
