Changing Belts on Jo Beau B24-100

[Dorset Treeman]

 

Anyone know how to get the pulley off marked as 3 in the diagram (we’ve undone the central bolt and undone the two bolts holding the bushing in place but can’t seem to get it loose).

 

Also need to take the pulley marked electro magnetic coupling off too somehow but not tried yet.

 

All this to change the belts.

 

I can’t believe they’ve designed it to be this difficult or am I missing something (we undid the adjuster and you’d think that would be enough but the design is such that the belts can’t be removed with any of the other 3 pulleys in place and we have only managed to remove one pulley so far (top left in the picture) as that is a simple bolt to remove!).

 

Any advice greatly received. Needed this for tomorrow and thought it would be an hours job [emoji45]

I can't see properly in the picture but is it a taper lock pulley? That's what they use on the drum on my JoBeau chipper.

Yes I think it is a taper lock pulley. By undoing the two bolts I thought this would allow me to remove the bushings but it doesn’t seem loose. Is there a knack to getting this part out?

Usually you take screws out of tightening holes and put them back in the other holes, tighten, tap it, swear, and it jumps off. Google remove taper lock pulley, plenty of guides.

Thanks Dan

Don't tap on the outer edge of the pulley though...
