With the engine and radiator in place, and using a front float a motor, are you able to take the old pulley out and replace it with a Murry?

I might have just found my answer from Patrick, YUCK.

"Changing the crank gear in the vehicle can be done with some difficulty. The front of the engine needs to be jacked quite high. The radiator needs to come out, the rear motor mounts need to be loose and the one mount bolt on each side should be removed. The gear is really on the crank and usually takes serious heat and a real puller to get off. When putting the new gear on, do not beat/pound the gear on. Press it on. I use a length of turned pipe closed and drilled at one end so a bolt the same thread size as the crank can be used to press/push the heated gear on."
