See this thread ( http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...light=heat+gun ) there is no need to take the risk of hurting the motor by breaking the pulley like that and there is no need to buy a custom tool to remove the pulley.
I already owned the tool for its original use as a nut splitter. It's kind of like cracking a walnut. I was worried about overheating the motor and damaging something, so I see this as a lower risk approach if you don't care for the pulley.
