There is a dowel pin that holds it from turning. They get stuck on the dowel. Sometimes they are hard to get off. DO NOT use a puller. It's alluminum, you'll break it. Probably have to take the tins off and get behind it with a screwdriver or small pry bar.

Why are you taking it off?
Wow so glad I asked because I was trying to figure out how to get that puller to work So this is an older 7hp engine I have that I'm looking to learn on. I planned on starting a thread real soon on the progress of me "refreshing" this engine. I think getting into the insides is a little more then I can take on this first time around so I'm just looking to take everything off the outside of the engine. Clean the block, paint some parts to it looks nice and put it back together again. Even if I'm just taking a part off to only turn around and re-attach it again I'm cool with that. Bottom line I'll never know how to work on these engines without jumping in and playing (and I'm sure breaking) with them Thank you for the info, you saved me from buying a new hub. See, I'm already learning!!!
