Hello everyone,
My White Rotary friction pulley won't come off even after I remove the set screw and use WD-40 to loosen it on the shaft. There appears to be an attaching piece on the end that I don't see in images or videos of other similar machines online. (Thanks So Much to everyone who posted about theirs! I've learned a lot from Rodney and others.)

The context:
-- I have the correct replacement part, bought from sew-classic
-- I have removed the set screw completely
-- There is what looks to be a 2-part metal piece holding the pulley onto the shaft, something like an end cap. It does not have machining to fit a hexagonal/Allen wrench or anything. In videos of replacing similar pulleys, I saw that after removing the set screw, the pulley just slides off, with no other piece holding the pulley on. I'm not sure if this was something retro-fit onto my machine, or what. Any suggestions??
-- I've used WD-40 to attempt to loosen things up. There is some give of the shaft, but the pulley doesn't pull off and I can't get anything between the pulley and that 'extra' end piece.
Machine info:
Black crinkle finish
Serial 1x22384 (From this page, White made the black crinkle embossed machines starting with 1x990 in 1929:
http://www.treadleon.net/WhiteSM/whites.html This machine appears to pre-date some more common FR models, as also suggested by the fact that it doesn't seem to have a reverse stitch option, but it does have the spring-loaded motor making it easier to work on.)
Motor #: 497137
Thank you!
Tiffany

Spring-attached motor (you can see the purple pen I've got holding the motor out away from the machine)
