I've just recieved my Unorthodox pulley for my a6, and I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to pull the stock one off. Am I going to need a puller, or will the dirty bastard slip off if i grease it up? any suggestions? If any of you guys have done this, please show me the way. i don't want to screw up my crank journals/bearings, and i've talked to a few people who've experienced this. I'm changing my water pump/oil pump/timing belt @the same time... it's going to be a huge pain in the ***, I know, but i have to do it. please help!

 

It definitely does not slip off. Its held on with the #1 hardest to get off bolt on the entire car. That is unless you own air tools. Find/buy/borrow a good impact wrench and blast that sucker off.
