eccentric shaft pulley removal

I'm trying to get the 2 extra pulleys off of the eccentric shaft pulley. I have PS and AC so I have the 2 extra pulleys that are connected via 4 bolts to the main eccentric pulley. Do I need a puller of some sort to get this thing off? Haynes and the factory manual just shows the 4 bolts that connected the 3 pulleys together but doesn't say anything on how to take them off. Thanks

Yeah there are only four 10mm bolts that hold them together...You should be able to pop them out with a rubber mallet..tap lightly on 12,3,6,9 oclock postions.

Just a reminder. The four hole pattern is not symetrical. The holes will only align in one pattern. You might want to mark the pulleys with some white paint so you have an idea how they align when you go to reinstall them.

Or you'll be stuck turning it around and around. Mine just fell right off once I removed the bolts, didn't even have to tap it at all.

Well I'm back. I tried taping the pulley with a rubber mallet like you said I even sprayed it with penetrating oil and nothing. The two others pulleys i can spin no problem ( I see what you mean about the holes) but the first on is frozen on there real good. Any ideas? Off topic you guys wouldn't know where I can get hold of the twin scroll actuator and a wastegate actuator? Thanks
