When you restrain the reel and unscrew in a clockwise direction it unscrews the bolt, not the pulley.
Do you know if the pulley just pulls off?, I have tried to gently persuade it to no avail, but being a bit cautious till I know

Hey Kempe,

I think it should just pull off. I've attached a close up of the other side of the pulley you're trying to remove. I can't remember it being tricky at all. It looks like it's just a tight fit. There was a spacer ring between the pulley and bearing. As it can rotate I would say its just worn into a slight groove. Like yourself though I'm no expert and just learning as I go. I would wait from some advice from the experts but I suspect a gentle hit from the inside should push it out - if the reel is out of coarse. Be carefull, I would hate to think my advice could end up making things worse!

I wouldn't think it's appropriate to include snippets from the manuals section as it's a paid subscription but I had a look and it tends to reiterate my first comments. There's no surprise parts in there except for that ring spacer.
