    Removing the spindle pulley

    Is there a trick to removing the pulley (ER16 spindle) from the spindle?
    I have removed the setscrew but it is not moving, not sure how much force should be needed.

    Thanks,
    Andre

    It is an interference fit. I recommend heating the pulley (propane or butane torch) while using a pulley extractor.

    Re: Removing the spindle pulley

    Yep shortly after I posted I found the info about it being a shrink fit.
    A little heat and I did not even need the puller just a leather glove, it lifted right off.

    Thanks,
    Andre
