Bob,
Yes that's the puller the mechanic had but like I said about 3/4 to 1 inch thick, I have to look around for some steel now. I might even have some bicycle sprockets I could cut in half that would already have the round hole in the center, dang I know I tossed a bunch away about a month ago when I was cleaning up and brought them to the recycle yard but there may be one or two left. I still may try pushing a piece of crocus cloth down the 5/16" set screw hole and trying to polish off the darned burs, the pulley rotates freely but just will not budge edgewise.
The one piece of tool steel I have I really don't want to destroy, it's drilled and tapped for a bending jig for wire puzzles using shoulder bolts and took me a while to make several years back.
Do you think if I made your sketched rig, brazed three of the four bars together and bolted the fourth it would work, sure would be easier than rigging four nuts and bolts in that tight space and I could braze the backup nuts in place.
Thanks for the pictures & sketch, it's getting dark and cold here now so time to give it a rest for the night and wake up tomorrow hopefully with new insight.

Still not loosing it
