126
 

Took the engine out of the 126 tonight as the time has come to replace the screen on the flywheel. Anyone have tips on removing the pulley from the crank shaft?

Are you talking about the PTO? Remove the set screws (2 in each hole for a total of 6) from the outside diameter of the pulley/pto. Once you do that, you can pull the PTO off the bearing.... It might take a little effort.

Once you get the bolt or nut, whichever is on there out/off, just tap around the edges with maybe a rubber hammer or a piece if 1x2.
It should loosen enough to come off.
There is a dowel pin in it that locates the pully in the correct spot on the flywheel.
Just don't get too violent with it when removing the pulley.
Work it off a little at a time around the edges.
The pin will either stay in the pulley or the flywheel.

I used an inpact to remove the nut, then a 3 jaw gear puller. popped right off
