For model number Rex4634kq1
Hello Manuel, Thank you for your inquiry. It is not usually recommended as it protects the shaft. You can purchase it with the pulley, part# WP8066184. Hope this helps!

I cant get the old one off, what do i do?
Hi Lesley, Thank you for the question. If the pulley is stuck and can not be unscrewed, you can try some WD-40 or similar products. If the pulley is not able to be removed, you may need to replace the motor. Hope this helps!

I just replaced the idler wheel and started the dryer and burning plastic smell. I opened the dyer up again and noticed there is a plastic thing behind the motor pulley. What is the number for that part? Why would it melt?
For model number LEQ9558KQ1
Hi Adrienne, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately I could not say as to why this part melted. The only thing that I could think of would be that the belt was installed incorrectly and so it slipped and with friction melted that plastic piece. That plastic part is only available with the motor. So to replace it, you would have to replace your motor. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
Wp8066184 is the motor pulley compatible with a dryer model # mde3706azw?
For model number MDE3706AZW
Hello Kevin, Thank you for contacting us. I have researched the model you have provided and have found that unfortunately Maytag is not selling the pulley separate from the motor assembly part number PS11739459. Thank you for your question!

Does this pulley have left hand threads counter-clockwise to tighten, clockwise to loosen?
Hello J, Thank you for the question. You will need to turn Counter Clockwise to loosen the pulley. Hope this helps!

Replaced a broken pulley.
Half of my pulley was broken off so there were no wrench flats to take it off. I was able to remove it using Channel Locks and the 7/16 wrench shown in the video.
Hint: Use a one gallon ice cream bucket to hold up the drum while connecting the belt. It makes it much easier and gives you more clearance.

Needed to repair and replace dryer motor pulley and pully
this was very was very easy. But I deviated from the You Tube instructions. One to release the motor pulley. I needed to use 2 adjustable wrenches for a longer lever. I needed to use a hammer to help release pulley. Second to remove the dryer cable I needed to use a small screw driver to aid in the release. ---- the part from the company was a perfect fit.

Dryer drum would not turn
Ordered $245 worth of parts for four possible fixes. None of the four fixes worked. Used an appliance repair person to do more troubleshooting. Fourteen days later and after spending an additional $380 ($625 total), a new control panel was installed. That solved the problem.

Real easy repair
Was told by local repair shop the pulley could not be sold separate from the motor. Found this business and part. 3 days later the part came. Now we have a running clothes dryer, and saved over $100.

Works!
My old motor pulley broke into 2 pieces. The replacement I received looked like my old one (and not like the one shown in the picture, side view) - it has a hex nut only on one end and a more extended feature on the other. I replaced it and my dryer works! Note that I had to use a steel pipe wrench to take off and put on this part.
