it "should" come off easily, and it probably will. mine though, was a PITA. it took a good 20-30 min of slowly prying on it from different angles for it to finally come off. after i got it off i put some anti-seize on the shaft as to help not have that problem again.
sweet, hopefully it pops right off. I dont have very many miles on it since the last swap. Now only if amazon would hurry up and ship my new impact wrench.
Do you still have the belt on? You should be able to loosen the bolt, as long as the belt isn't slipping on the pulley. Might have to really get the tensioner tight for that though?
