Liquid wrench, screwdriver and hammer? Unless somone siliconed it it mist be rust right?

Or just leave it alone. It needs to be there when you put it back on.

When you use a puller to take the sprocket off, if there is a lip inside the pulley,
where the two meet, might work with a brass punch to separate them from behind.

Some guys here have been talking about upside down air spray cans (dusters for PCs), to super chill parts.

I'd chill before torching a pair of parts.

Make sure to clean up the surfaces with some light emery cloth before re-assembly.

They get stuck no matter what you do, most times.

If you drill and tap the washer, you could use a puller to remove this with no issue later down the road.

That's over engineering though ..... and it's probably rediculously hard to do.

Thanks all!

I will try both ways.

It needs to come off due to a leaky front main. I think I over-torqued the bolt last time causing this mess.

Ill update if I win

Just take the sprocket off (or is that stuck too?). Washer can be knocked off after if you care to.

Thanks all!

I didnt realize that the whole thing can can just slide off.

Well, the car developed a problem while I was putting it back together. Ill update on a separate thread.
