No, your WP will be fine, just be careful not to let any long bolts, etc jam into it. I think the loosening agent will help. Good luck

persistence pays off!! it will come off. the bolt needs to fit tight up against the pulley. and not have much play in it

You're welcome. So how did you finally get it off? x2 on the bolt needing to be tight and no play.
