No kidding, we will find a day that is a lot better. Hopefully soon!:beerchug:

welp no luck on the starter, the only good one I have has a bad pulley and I cannot get the darn thing off, so it looks like progress is stalled waiting on money and parts... this is the part I hate lol

I used two pieces of 2 inch angle iron under the pulley - between the s/g and pulley having the s/g suspended. Then I lightly tapped the s/g shaft using a hammer and a small piece of round stock as to not damage the s/g shaft and the s/g fell out on the padding which I left there for it to land on. The pulley was left on top of the two pieces of angle iron.

I sure there are many different ways, and the pulley has to come off. Worked for me.
