I have a Honda HRX217. I had to use a press to get the pulley off the upper roto-stop assembly. Should it be that tight of a fit? The bearing is fine. Nothing is scored. is there an easy way to get it back on? All you-tubes show a easy press fit not an interference fit. Do I have any options?

Hello Meridian28,

First question is the bearing correct? If so....

Polish the outer surface of the pulley fit area for the bearing with some fine grit 1" wide mechanic's/ plumber sandpaper or crocus sanding paper. Most hardware stores have it in the plumbing section for copper pipe solder preparation.

Sand it down just enough to fit comfortably using a little WD-40 spray.
