Answer
Hello Dave:

Apply Heat to the Center of the Pulley. Sometimes a Pulley will be Damaged when Removed for the First Time and the Pulley has to be Replaced with a New Pulley. When Replacing the Pulley, Use Never Seize on the Inside of the Pulley and on the Shaft you are Placing the Pulley onto. The Never Seize Helps to Prevent the Rust and Hard to Remove Problem when the Pulley has to be Removed the Next Time. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Unit at this Site Addy; http://www.jacobisalespartslookup.com/home.asp and Select the Cub Cadet Logo. Now Select Shop Online Parts Look Up. Now Select the OEM ( Cub Cadet) and Select the Model Tab. Then Enter the Model Numbers and Click Search. Then Double Click on your Model in the Results Area. Then Select Sectional View. Then Select the Section of the Unit you Wish to View. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
