The bearings are going bad in my Taig spindle and I want to either send it in for warranty repair, or replace them with some better bearings myself. Now I could just send the whole spindle assembly into Taig and have them take care of it, but I don't know what time frame I'd get it back in. Luckily I have a friend that is letting me borrow his old spindle, but it doesn't have a pulley on it. If I can just remove the pulley from my spindle, I could send the spindle off and not be out of a mill for who knows how long.

I've been working at it for a few weeks, but cannot for the life of me remove the pulley from the spindle. Yes, the setscrew is removed. Is it just mashed on there? Anyone have any suggestions for removing it?
