Trying to find any info on this and not having much luck. Sounds like Vortech sells a retainer kit which has a key. Perhaps this key is out or improper in some fashion? It looks simple enough, that part anyways. Trying to get the pulley off, unsuccessfully. Tried strap wrench around the pulley but the bolt is too tight and it slips before I can crack the bolt. It's only supposed to be 35lbft so somebody just have reeled it on there. Any other ideas how to get the bolt off? I'll have to heat the pulley a bit to remove it but need to get to that part first and want to use as little heat as possible since there are lots of bearings to be cautious of.
