Question How do you get the air pump apart???

I need to get the air pump apart so I can make it push more air. I took off all the bolts on it and tried to take it apart but the back plate and the spindal that the pulley fits on are conected somehow. I need to get it apart to "mod" it. If you really want to know how I will do it I can tell you but you have to ask.

Pull the third stage turbo wheel back 1/2' and lift up on the intercooler door.
Be careful not to let any boost escape.
Use high pressure duct tape to re-seal.

I swear, you guy's are some of the biggest asses this side of the honda forums Anyway, I'm not exactly sure myself peacekeeper, have you tried to tap the spindle down gently with maybe a rubber mallet? Wish I could be of some help, but I'm not. Good luck none the less.

Air Pump

Wouldn't making the air pump pass more air make to much resistence for the belts? Or maybe cause it to heat up the air much like a turbo?

The pully is off and all the bolts are off too. There is a little drive shaft looking thing conected to a plate that the pulley goes on. There seems to be some kind of clamp thing that is holding it on that looks like a metal O-ring. I can figure out how to get it off. Please help.
