Crank ac pulley removal

[Miles O Roads]

Was seeing what this takes,maybe not being aggressive enough. I removed all 6 bolts and just think it's rust/stuck on. May need to get a slide hammer.

it looks pretty crusty.. you may also need to pull out the 3 hub bolts and the plate.. i cant remember if those pulleys fit over or behind that.

I have used some penatrating oil with no luck. Seen some on fleet board say use a little heat. I may try to stop at local bus barn and ask,the have a whole re fleet but don't know if any have ac.

I have a hydraulic gear puller. That will do it if anything else won't.

It is going on the bus we are keeping. It had 1 locked up compressor and idlers. We plan to move the Indoor units and replace everything else. I will say removing everything and keeping it usable was an undertaking, only thing left is the pulley.
