Thanks, glad U got it off without hurting anything,, I did say i used anti seize on my shaft and now that i remember
i had to remove the pulley a year or so later and it did NOT want to slide right off,, got it off cleaned and sanded the anti seize,
and just installed clean,,, if the bearing started to fail and leaked some oil/grease then got hot that may have been the cause.
I don't think i have heard of any of the steel pullies from Poland failing jim
