Default Pulley replacement on 44" deck

Hey guys,

I have a 441U1111 mower deck for my 149 that has two busted up pulleys that need to be replaced before mowing season hits.

The parts lookup calls for IH-59703-C2 for the center double and 756-3008 for the single.

Before I drop around around $100 is there anything I should consider? I've read several threads about a "speed-up pulley" for the center with views on their merits varying widely, so does anyone have thoughts on that?

Also, it took a big filter wrench and a lot of PB blaster and cursing to get the double pulley free from the spindle with that pulley-mounted nut being so far in that well, is there any literature or tips on how to make that process any easier?
