Remove the bolt in the front of the pulley, should just slide off. Mine did, but you may need a puller.

Also there are a small washer or two under the bolt, don't loose them very important.. Sets the air gap on the cutch assembly, should be about .015...

I had to use a puller to get mine off. I used one for a Frigidaire A-6 because that's what I already had on hand. The threads didn't fit exactly, but it worked.
