My motor pulley is stripped how do I get it off?

I’ve heard they are hard to get sometimes and when found can take 2weeks to a month. Any luck with eBay? Or goggle search?

This is helpful but one problem, the motor pulley in your video is not actually broken. On a broken one -- at least on mine -- you wouldn't be able to grip it by the hex part because it's broken off, which is why it needs replacing in the first place. Gripping it by that round, slanted part is liable to be more tricky. But at least I learned how to hold the shaft still while unscrewing the pulley.

Were you able to get the broken one off? Any trick that helped?

@@dnitzman I'm sorry, I've forgotten how I did it. But yes, I was able to get it off without too much trouble.
