How do you take off the main pulley hub?

I got the big "bolt" off, which turned out to be a cap. I thought that was it, but now I'm looking at some allen head & the pulley hub still won't budge. Any ideas? Trying to take off the front cover. Thanks!

that's what I'm looking at after taking the front pulley nut off. Pulley hub still wouldn't pull out.

the FD hub has pins too, to align the trigger wheel.

my guess is this got accidentally posted in the wrong section.

motor is 3 rotor with FD-everything else except for front housing which is 12A & apparently the hub... I actually just remembered the e-shaft isn't stock. I think it's from guru or something. It was just a long time ago that I forgot. I guess I'll e-mail them unless someone here can help me out. I really don't want to take a hub puller on it just yet. I heard this should just slide out? I'm almost picking up the motor by the hub and it's not pulling out at all.

Hard to tell from the pictures...almost looks like a hub bolt that's been rounded off.

^^ It does look like it's been rounded off to avoid tampering maybe? I know some places like to score, tack weld, bend, or otherwise destroy stuff to make it impossible to remove and maybe the company you mentioned did that so people couldn't mess with their internals? Just a thought, it looks like it would require some mighty strong vice grips and a torch, let us know if you fix it or find out whats up!

I should've been more clear. It's a multi piece e-shaft from Guru/xtremerotaries. End of it is threaded. It's held together by a nut rather than a bolt.

I did get it off with a pulley puller per Guru's directions.
