F-3 front sprocket failure

[Firefly]

How do you guys pull off the pulley in a hour? Mine was Not bad at all when I took the bolt out but there was No Way I was getting it off to replace. It appears to be almost welded on there until , of course , it goes Bad and then comes off Real Easy on its own as most know! I would imagine you have to loosen the belt to get the pulley off and then tighten and re-align and re-tension test and All that stuff could take Way more than a Hour???:yikes:

If you have spine issues and red dust then the pully certainly can be harder to remove. On my 2008 GS we had to cut the damn thing off with a torch. The puller we used just broke the collar on the pully.

Otherwise there's no need to remove rear tire or do any belt alignment.. it will stay how it was before the pully swap.

My tech told me they have the equivalent of Spyderlovers for dealers only.
Mechanics in almost all fields have their own as well.
Even my family doctor showed me their doctor only website and how they keep up on the latest medical procedures.
Its good BRP keeps their website locked down to dealers only.
