I should have taken the bolt off the pulley before I removed the spindle assembly from the deck,may have to bolt the two remaining back up and put the blade on and try to wedge it to break it loose. I have been using kroil thats my preferred penetrating oil,not cheap but like it better than pb blaster.Hope to get some done tomorrow evening,broke my cheap-o vise trying to loosen the nut on to top the middle pulley tonight.Thanks for all your help guys!

If you have a air impact, it works great to loosen the spindle nuts holding the pulley on
