I'm trying to repair a hand planer. It would turn on then start smoking. I cleaned it out and made sure everything moved. Turned it on a second time and it rotated about twice then stopped and ... started smoking. I have taken it apart as best I can and determined that something is not allowing the small side of the belt drive to rotate. When I spin the, (sorry I have no idea about most of this) green fan-like thing it feels rough and is hard to turn. I cannot take this part apart and don't want to cause irreparable damage. I did try a three-legged pulley puller but that was a disaster. Any idea? It's a really nice machine and I would like to get it working.
