Hey guys, I recently attempted to swap out my 3.33" pulley for a 3.15" and couldn't manage to get the old pulley to come off. Anyone ever run into this one? I did attempt some light prying with a prybar, but I really don't want to screw anything up.

Can I use a 2 or 3 jaw puller to yank this thing off, or would it damage the input shaft? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try warming the pulley up with a small propane torch. The aluminum will expand long before the steel shaft. It doesnt take much heat or long to warm the pulley up either.
