Update:

Got the center bolt out, the pulley off but I’m left with the inner bearing sleeve. I can’t get a set of puller arms on it because of the close proximity... helphttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9adb021a0f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1be635a7f6.jpg

The same exact thing I had. I used a Dremel with a small cut off wheel to cut a slot and then broke the race off.

Could you please elaborate? Do you have any pictures?

Sorry, no pictures. But got a 1 inch cut off wheel from Harbor Freight for my Dremel. Then cut the race across the grooves from front to back. I made the mistake of not cutting a little, check and repeat until the race is cut enough to wedge a large flathead and twist to open a little more. Oddly enough, mine then broke and fell off. But if it doesn't you can probably then grab it with a pair of channel locks and twist it off.

Thank you! I’ll give it a go.
