The engine is out of the frame, so I needed to figure a different way to remove the countershaft pulley. The usual methods were out of the picture since the belt was long gone. I had cut it off with the angle grinder and thrown it in the trash because it kept getting in the way as I tried to remove the rear wheel. Also, the left case is off the engine, getting ready to polish, and I wasn't in the mood to put it back on just for this.
So I fiddled with things a bit, looked through my tools, tried a couple of things, then had an idea. A shock absorber preload adjusting wrench is good for grabbing a cylinder. The pulley is just bigger. I could wedge it against the crankcase and...
There we go.
