Hey guys. I am replacing the lower idler pulley on the Gen3. My question is, after I crack and remove the retaining bolt, will the pulley slide off easily or will it require a little bit of force to remove?
The part in question....

I had to replace one on my old ecotech. It took a bit of persuasion. I suspect the 270 odd thousand km's had a bit to do with that, or maybe it was excessive vibrations when the bearings shat themselves. I think the heat caused the metals to bind a bit... A bit of careful leverage solved it soon enough.
