Title: Rear Pulley Removal
Post by ThumperPaul on 07/03/24 at 15:30:27

How do you separate the pulley from the hub? They're seized together real good. Used an impact wrench to remove the nuts and bolts. Spacer bearing came out.

Things that make me want to pull out a hammer and crowbar!

I think it's just stuck bro. There's a spacer in there did you pull that out? I'd head it and bang it with a rubber mallet

Yup it’s stuck bro! Lol.

The Clymer manual says to beat on it (ok, it says “tap”) with the wooden end of a hammer. But the instructions seem to be written for if the thing is still on the bike.

I’m gunna put the drum spacer back in, then run the axle through it to give me a way to hold the drum while I beat on the pulley with a rubber mallet! Ok, I’ll try tapping first and then commence to beating as necessary!

Put some penetrating oil on the joint between the pulley/hub, and set it out in the sun for a while.......then beat on it.

You might also try warming up the pulley with a propane torch - don't get it really hot.....just warm it up a bit.

Thanks Dave! Let the beatings begin! Or lubricate and bang on the drum all day. ;D

If you are that far into it, do the double wide bearing and the modified spacer.
If that bearing fell out, it’d prob had a hard life.
