Sir Lance. That was one of my thoughts, but I wasn't sure if that would simply loosen and remove the double pulley without loosening the blade. The other thought I've had is a "hangman's noose" on the pulley and anchored to fixed point. Then, as I try to loosen the nut, the noose will continue to tighten.
A combination of pulley noose and socket may also work. My friend with the impact tools is out of town until next week. I'll try my/our ideas. If it works, great, if not, then I'll go the impact route. It's a winter rebuild/restore project, so it isn't an immediate deal. I'm just taking it apart now and seeing what parts I might need when I put it back together for next summer's work duty.
