The only "front pulley" that comes apart is the harmonic balancer. It's an outer pulley, with a rubber/fabric(?) ring around an inner master (the part that bolts on the crank nose). If it travels in or out from the inner master it can:
Contact the timing chain cover (sparks, and a ruined tining chain cover).
Make your belt off align with the other pulleys, making the belt jump off and/or shred itself.
Replacing the HB is pretty straight forward. Need a HB puller and some time.
