Hi Folks:
I called Jet (twice); they were very helpful, but I didn't like their answer ( dropping the motor).
Somehow the lower pulleys shimmied their way about 1/4 inch to the left of the motor shaft. I removed the two set screws, checked to see that there were no others in the holes, but I cannot move the pullys in toward the motor or out off of the motor shaft. They want me to drop the motor and use a bearing/pulley puller. For someone who only turns pens (light use of my lathes), I wonder how the pulleys moved in the first place.
Well any help you folks have to get the pulley off or flush with the end of the motor shaft would be greatly appreciated. I tried the dead-blow hammer and block of wood thing and it didn't budge.
Thanks!
