I had to carefully use a crowbar between the pulley and the snout to wiggle the pulley off. Wedge a little, turn, wedge a little, turn... repeat till you can pull it off by hand. If youre careful you wont make any marks or damage anything...
i removed the belt and the nut holding the 4in pulley to my jrsc, but the pulley wont budge...i tried lightly tapping it w a hammer to see if i could knock it loose but it didnt move...im sure theres something obvious im overlooking...any help would be much appreciated..thanks-joep

wrap whatever you use to pry it off with some sort of tape and further lessen the risk of effing up that purty jrsc!
always wrap it up
thank you all very much for the help..-joep
so is it just the heat expanding the metal in the pulley making it so hard to get off the car? just curious..-joep
Well, the pulley is softer than the output shaft of the JRSC... plus there is a keyway. So theres gonna be galling and some corrosion as well. Its normal.
try heating the pulley up with a torch- dont go crazy but a little bit of heat will make the pulley expand and a bit easier to remove
put some antisieze on it before installing the new one and it should be a little easier to get off next time.
