with regards the bottom pulley,mine came off no bother but others have had a nightmare removing theres,remove the bolt and give it a try you might be lucky.

Just don't worry if piccie 5 is out, it's of no significance so long as piccie 6 is correct.
Do you need a puller ?, hopefully not, just have to wait and see.
If you do have trouble with the crank pulley coming off, knock out woodruff key for pulley once off and lap a bit using valve grinding paste between the pulley and crank nose, till it's a snug but not stupidly tight fit, make sure to wipe all traces of paste away before reassembling and putting woodruff key back in slot, smear with coppaslip or similar and it will come off much easier next time.
There is no need at all for locking stuff on the thread of the bolt just std torque is fine, it won't come loose.
