Using a 4" motor I found that the center section where the pins attach via a pair of sheet metal brackets is wider than the pins so the sheet metal brackets are skewed. Lubricated the puller threads and began trying to remove the pulley from the 5hp motor. Briggs engine. The first thing that happened was that the mother flew off. I put them back and tightened them with a wrench, and then the nut flew off one by one.
