I'm attempting to restore a 44c deck that is in pretty bad shape as far as the spindles are concerned. I have the top nut off and after inspection I can see the pulley is keyed on the shaft. I know I could us a 3 jawed puller but when I tried it on the center spindle I bent the pulley really bad with no luck with removing it. I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy a center spindle and pulleys.
I want to rebuild the outside spindles if I can get the D*** pulleys off with out ruining them. I've had them soaking in PB for about 2 days now. Any help or tricks you guys might have to get them off would be appreciated.
