My engineer friend (Matt) got some time to come over and help me with my saw. Actually, he took it apart and I held a flashlight occasionally. Here are some pictures in case anyone else needs to take apart a saw like this.
First Matt used his puller to remove the stuck pulley. The pulley didn't make it through the procedure, but it was a little bent anyway. No big deal to replace a pulley.
The set screw had made a couple laps around the shaft, so Matt filed that down before attempting to remove the bearings. He tapped the end of the shaft to drive it through the bearing on the outside. That came out easily.
The other bearing was inside this shield that keeps the gunk out of the bearing on the inside.
We couldn't figure out how to remove the washer type thing that holds the blade, so getting that bearing out wasn't easy. Since it was inside the shield, it was hard to get ahold of. Matt ended up breaking it out and grinding off the inner part with my Dremel. Here's how it ended up.
Here's one of the bearings that needs replacing.
Other side:
Matt took it home to measure with calipers and came up with a couple replacement options. He wasn't sure if it was sealed or shielded, but he thinks it's shielded. He thought that either type would be fine. This is way beyond my knowledge, but some of you will surely have any opinion.
