I've been struggling to remove a seized/stuck inner half of the alternator pulley. Any tips on getting it 'unstuck' would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Marc.

Heat the hub with a Bernz-O-Matic torch: the hub not the shaft.

try sticking it in the freezer for at least 24hrs first then heat it

this way it will require less heat
