I decided to go into the gearbox and change out the layshaft bearing today. All went like clockwork until I got into the primary and finally to the engine sprocket. I've never seen anything this tight on a shaft. The puller is pretty stout; it is US made and was my dad's for about 50 years. As suggested in another thread, I tried heating the sprocket (carefully to avoid heating anything else) until it produced a bit of smoke. No joy at all. The other problem is the puller wants to go out of line with the crankshaft when under stress. Also tried a new puller from the auto parts store which is stout as well. Same result.
Cussin' the designer isn't getting me anywhere-- Anyone have any suggestions?
