Einleitung
This guide shows how to remove and replace the drive pulley.
Note: The pulley can be hard to remove and requires a suitably sized gear puller to extract it.
Note: The pulley bolt may be heavily seized on with thread-lock. You may need to use a blowtorch to heat up the bolt in order to soften the thread-lock.
