Being new to this forum, i am an 80-year old Dane with a keen interest in bringing new life to old hobby woodworking machines. My present project is a Kity 534 planer. I need an advice about how to get the pulley off the cutter arbor! Can anyone tell me how the pulley is attached to the arbor, Is it simply pressed upon the arbor, or is there groves on that part of the arbor? I will try to attach some pictures, and hope much for your help!

Erik.

We had a very similar question the other day on a kity planer. It turned out to be a press fit.

I suggest that you fit a puller and apply moderate tension and then heat the pulley directly. Aluminium expands far more than steel and it should start to move.
Good luck

Thank you Myfordman, I'll try this, and let you know the outcome!
