You can press on the pulley with an M10 bolt, a nut, a couple of washers
and lots of grease. You can leave the bolt threaded in the end of the
shaft if you're worried about it coming off again. I take it the shaft
is one of the longer types? (like from John H - they have the keyway)
Has the shaft been cut off flush with the end of the pulley, or was it
left sticking out?
