Once you get the 4 nuts off, you should work the front half of the pulley
off of the studs. The hex thing that you see is the same cast as the main
part. Once it's off, you will find a bunch of washers that set the a/c belt
tension. Remove them, remove the A/C belt and remove the second half of the
pulley.
