5. Rotate the pulley clockwise 2 full turns. This will
ensure the spring is disengaged from the starter
housing.
6. Hold the pulley into the starter housing. Invert the
pulley/housing so the pulley is away from your
face and away from others in the area.
7. Rotate the pulley slightly from side to side and
carefully separate the pulley from the housing.
See Figure 7-6.
If the pulley and the housing do not separate
easily, the spring could be engaged in the starter
housing, or there is still tension on the spring.
Return the pulley to the housing and repeat step 5
before separating the pulley and housing.
