The bolt through the middle appears to be welded to the pulley - but I would have thought it should spin on the bolt when the brake is pulled.
Before I go at it with more WD40 and a hammer could anyone confirm if they are separate items. If they are 'one' then shouldn't there be a lock nut.
Cheers

Mine were frozen on my 37 Chevy pickup. I just kept spraying w/PB Blaster for several days. I then held the pulley near the bolt w/vise grips and a socket & rachet on the bolt. It finally broke free. Mine didn't have a lock nut but had lock washer on the nut - don't know if that was original. The bolt shaft is smooth and the pulley spins around it. Hope this helps.

I'll drop it into some release oil and leave it for 24 hrs before trying again.
