Gx325 drive pulley

[Kaos646]

I have a 2002 John Deere gx325, the crank case gasket is leaking and I need to pull the motor to replace it. I have gotten to the drive pulley and can't seem to remove it. I have soaked it with moovit to get things Loose, and still nothing. Does anyone know how to remove this? Thanks in advance.

You will need a puller, and not just any puller will do, the puller will have to go underneath pulley & close to crankshaft to avoid breaking pulley, first reinstall bolt in crankshaft to avoid damaging crankshaft & threads.

4" gear puller worked great, pulled the drive pulley off and gasket was easily replaced.
