Hi Joe,
    The pulley is actually two pulley halves, and when you spin the front half
off the diameter reduces to the diameter of the spindle..Don't forget to lossen
up the binding screws first.

You mentioned a 24 volt AC compressor. I assume this is a small motor + Air
Conditioning compressor that runs on 24 volts DC, right? Who makes them and
where can you get them?
