That was a lot easier than I thought, I bound the rear wheel and brake up, and tried loosening the bolt before heating it up to release the Loctite, and it came out, possibly it already had one pulley replaced? it's only down 10000 miles but maybe it had been thrashed?
Any way, very pleased it wasn't as difficult as some others have experienced.
It looks like the pulley has taken the majority of the wear and the shaft is ok, maybe.
I'll order a new pulley, put it on and see if there's any play, and apply some Loctite 680 on the shaft and 271 on the bolt.

Thanks,
I've found the workshop manual which has 2 pages with the steps, I've got a butane torch so hopefully that'll heat it enough to release the Loctite, I think the tricky part will be holding the pulley in place as I don't have an old belt, I may try the belt that is on the bike and see if I can fold it around, and make sure it doesn't get damaged. There's a three on the FB group with a video of the pulley being fitted https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BbHzkrHWD/
wish me luck..

I'd driven 5 hours and the price was good price (I think), and I'd thought it should/may be possible to replace the bearings, I'm in New Mexico and there are no Zeros for sale anywhere near me.

Hi all,
just bought a used 2020 SR/F, when I test rode it there was a slight rattly noise when coasting and not under load, but as I'd driven 5 hours and I thought the price was good I took a risk, thinking it may be the motor bearings.
So now I have the belt off there's a good amount of play in the front pulley, which I'm assuming isn't normal.
Any advise on how to get the pulley bolt out?
I'm hoping it's the pulley that's worn and not the shaft!
thanks
