transmission pulley removal help

[CajunMan89]

I am in the process of attempting to remove the transmission pulley on my Toro 244-5, because it is badly rusted and needs to be changed. I removed the transmission from the frame and then I went out and bought a pulley removal tool, but it still won't budge! All that I see holding the pulley to the transmission shaft are two bolts with a square head....nothing else. I sprayed it all with WD-40 and as I crank down on the pulley tool, it is actually bending the old pulley, trying to form it into a hotdog bun!


I don't have any PB blaster and have never bout any before, so could someone give me some ideas as to what I can try?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sounds the pulley is rusted on the shaft. Either need apply heat to it with a mapp or propane torch or cut it off.

Lift the rear end by the pulley. That way all the weight is being supported by the pulley. Put a block of wood on the shaft and hit with a hammer.

Only lift the unit a couple inches off the ground so it will not break when it falls.
