KZ, I was totally incorrect, the scoot has 10,000 and there were prob 1,000 miles on the belt which was origional replacement, no kevlar. The metal bushing was frozen on the axle and to the back cover plate of the variator. With a screwdriver I was able to separate the spacer/bushing from the back plate by 1/16" but only able to move the spacer by putting a screwdriver between the back of the back plate and the scooter housing which slightly bends the back plate. I was only able to move the bushing 1/16" on the axle when I gave up not wanting to bend the variator back plate.
I did order a new variator kit for $15 off ebay and plan to do whatever it takes to get the spacer out. I still can get out the rollers even with the back plate stuck to the scoot. I'm thinking that no having the spacer/bushing moving caused my belt to break prematurely.
