Default 3.12 pulley removal

How do I get this 3.33 pulley off? I've been useing this strap wrench and and a 14mm wrench and this dam thing will not budge. Would it be easier to remove after I install the mounting bracket?

you may want to try and use a heat gun on the pulley center shaft boss area. by heating it up just enough it will expand the aluminum to make removing the pulley easy.

Wouldn't a simple gear puller work?

What I did was use the strap wrench on the pulley, and used a 14mm socket wrench on the bolt. I just squeezed them together towards each other and it came loose. You have to really muscle it for it to work. My next project is to polish the the intercooler. I just started on it yesterday and it is taking a long time. I might just take it to someone else to do it for me. If I get it done I'll post pics.

I was going to say...I must have been lucky because I just put one wrench on the serp pulley bolt and one on the cog pulley bolt and the serp pulley bolt broke free.

Yea I tried that and it did not work. Maybe if it was mounted or in a vise things would have worked out differently. All that matter in the end is that I got it off.
