Just wondering for anybody that has ordered 70mm pulley listed......
How did you disassemble the pulley from the round backplate and torx bolt since they seemed press fitted together?
Did anyone reuse the round backplate with the original bolt or just toss it?

Not 100% sure, but I have a vague memory of grabbing the aluminum (?) backing plate with a vice or channel lock pliers and unscrewing the bolt?
Am I remembering a little crimp feature that needs to be defeated?
I know I got it apart though and trash canned the supplied Torx bolt and the backing plate.
I reused the original shoulder bolt.
