Chunked a bearing on the main shaft and I see the bearing housing is cracked Is there a trick to removing these pulleys?

Ive got a L3 that looks just like that and ive had that pulley off to put bearings on the main shaft. I didnt have any problem getting it off. If you decide to use heat id be very careful with it. I dont know how much heat the laminations in that header clutch coil will stand Good luck ------------- 1984 80780 1957 D14 DES 300 with 25000 engine 616 tractor |

My assumption is after removing three bolts off the main pulley, it would just pop loose. The 3 jaw puller has a lot tension at the moment. Figured I could heat near the center if that's all it takes then tackle the clutch. I know a guy near Preston, may have bearing housing |
