Need help / advise! How are you getting your crank nut off??
Tried many ways to immobilize. It's super tight. Sigh.
Thoughts?

in your pulley there is a hole that allows you to pin the pulley in place into a boss locate behind it. use an appropriately sized Allen key to do the task. you may not need a shorter belt; depends on how much smaller your new pulley is.

Thanks. That did it, but now the UD pulley will not clear that very dog.
Damn!!!

That is because to install an under drive pulley, you need to machine some of that boss off.

It's a fraction of the size of the orig and needed a shorter belt.
WAY more power low end!!!! Zero other felt differences so far.
