Next issue, and I'm rather stumped on this one. I finally was able to get the assembly situated in a position where I could apply some force to get the pulley on (silent cheer!) [ATTACH=full]152536[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]152537[/ATTACH]- it doesn't stand up on its own and it is just awkward to work with. The solution was to open my vice and sit the mounting bolts on the vice jaws and tighten just a tiny bit to keep it snug. Here's the question, How in the world do I get that press fit pulley on the shaft? I tried heating it on the stove - got it to about 400˚F, ran out to the garage where it was about 35˚, and it doesn't want to budge. I tried tapping lightly with a hammer and I wasn't getting anywhere. I let it cool and started typing. Any ideas? Probably not enough heat? Here are a few pictures of how it sits in the vice

[QUOTE="walls00000, post: 252840, member: 14995"] Next issue, and I'm rather stumped on this one. I finally was able to get the assembly situated in a position where I could apply some force to get the pulley on (silent cheer!) [ATTACH type="full"]152536[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]152537[/ATTACH]- it doesn't stand up on its own and it is just awkward to work with. The solution was to open my vice and sit the mounting bolts on the vice jaws and tighten just a tiny bit to keep it snug. Here's the question, [B]How in the world do I get that press fit pulley on the shaft? [/B] I tried heating it on the stove - got it to about 400˚F, ran out to the garage where it was about 35˚, and it doesn't want to budge. I tried tapping lightly with a hammer and I wasn't getting anywhere. I let it cool and started typing. Any ideas? Probably not enough heat? Here are a few pictures of how it sits in the vice 🤷‍♂️ [/QUOTE]
