well i got most of the top end apart. I'm stuck at how to remove the bottom fixed side of the spindle variable pulley. the top side just slides onto the shaft. I expect this to come off with a snap ring or bolted on collar or something to make replacing the back-gear drive belt and the brake components easy to change. I dont see any parts to take off to make this pulley come off so I guess i need to use a puller to get it moving...
I don't want to start pulling on it with a puller if there is something else I'm missing.
I'm trying to take this off so i can get to the bearing. there is a lot of movement in that bearing so I was going to replace it.
other side of the main shaft where it sits in the bearing.
