I bought the set of machined pulleys for my delta contractors saw. Any
hints on how to get the nut loose from the saw arbor? I tried vise grips on
the shaft, level to try to jamb it against the shaft and housing, and
several other things. Can't get enough clearance to get a good grip on it.
Maybe removing the top is the next step - but then I'd have to get it
aligned - correctly. TIA

Thank you, sir. Maybe I should have asked about setscrews? Tom

Well, there's always the ritual spritzing of the assembly with a
solvent, a gentle percussive event, and then heat. HTH. Or maybe first
check your thread direction...Tom
