quick advice w main pulley

S4 n/a

I'm trying to get the main pulley off, but it appears to be stuck. Is there anything other than the four 10mm bolts attaching it?

Nope. Just four 10mm socket size bolts.

And remember to wedge the clutch pedal in to keep pressure on the eshaft, thus keeping the front Torrington bearing in place.

I thought he was just removing the pulley(s), not the hub also. That would mean the removal of that large bolt also.

Anybody have a Racing Beat pulley/hub? For cheeeep?

When I took mine off, I had to lightly pry it with a screwdriver. Just don't apply too much pressure and warp it.
