C Pulley Removal

You may need a puller like Bigdog made for his Cub
using a hydraulic bottle jack or a ram. Hal

Do you have to get a special bottle jack? Mine won't work on it's side. Also can a guy use a heat gun to help loosen it up? Ron
 
How do you get a hydraulic jack to work when it is side ways? My hydraulic jacks won't work that way. Is it a special jack??
 
I have a SA, if they're similar.
I used a bearing splitter behind the pulley, cinched down tight, and then a large two-jawed puller on the bearing splitter.

My pulley looks like this.

The end of my crank is threaded, and I didn't want to bung up the threads, so I threaded a long bolt into the end of the crank, and drilled a 'divot' on the center of the head of the bolt, so the pointed end of the puller would nestle there and not want to 'walk' around on the head of the bolt. I heated the pulley with a propane torch (all I had) until it was too hot to touch, and then cranked away using a hardened socket like for an impact wrench. SOB didn't want to move, but then suddenly did with a loud *snap*. Thought I broke my wrench, but it was just the pulley starting to move.
The head of the bolt fit through the pulley, so I got the pulley off over the bolt, and then unscrewed the bolt from the crank.
 
The pulley is a press fit onto the crank. As far as removal the others have gien you good quidance.

The threads you may see in the center of the front of the crank, though the hole in the middle of the pulley, can be used to pull the pulley onto the crank, but aren't really necessary of you heat the pulley to about 250 or 300 degrees in in an oven and slip it onto the front of the crank.
