Rotrex pulley change

So changing the pulley is not a 20 minute deal unless the unit is not on the car.

I have a 1.5 kit for my HR and I had this same question when I swapped pullies. I asked Mike@GTM for the method of removal and what he said to do was take two screw drivers, wrap them with painters tape (so they dont scratch anything). Put one screw driver under the pulley from one side and then use the other screw driver in the same manner from the other side.

You then push down on the screw drivers and essentially pry up the pulley.

Of course the screws that keep the pulley mounted need to be out but if you work the screw drivers gently you'll pup the pulley off.

This assumes the SC itself is sitting in front of you and again not on the car. If you are clever enough this might be doable with the unit in the engine bay but it's probably a real PITA to do.
