I also heated the pulley, but with a very small flame from air-acetylene torch.? I needed a gear puller(just bought from Ebay) to do the job.

Once I got into the project of removing the timing belt pulley I found out the pulley was not black plastic but what appeared to be some type of sintered metal that was Locktited onto the motor armature shaft. I used a propane torch and concentrated the heat on the pulley only. It didn¡¯t take long and the pulley easily slid off the shaft. The shaft itself was barely warm. I cleaned the shaft of any Locktite residue and I am ready to move on with the next step in my project.
