All Hexadrive spring-loaded pulleys are designed with an easy removal feature,
which minimizes the chance of damage to the pulley or shaft. This damage can
result from hammering and prying on the pulley.
While this feature is built into the smaller pulleys, all 5 HP and larger pulleys
require the use of our Easy Removal Kit accessory because they feature
“through bores.” The kit consists of a special nut and retaining ring that fit into
the counterbore end of the pulley, retaining ring pliers, and a threaded puller
rod. Two types of kits are available – the table below shows the correct kit for
each pulley model.
