I am preparing to remove the spindle on my 1942 EE10 so I can get to the fwd/rwd clutch shift fork. First step listed in all the "spindle removal" threads is to remove the pulley. Right.
So have this this...thing...on the spindle. No idea what it is. I don't see it in the Monarch manual. The part pointed to by the arrow slides back and forth.
Here is a close up with it all the way to the left.
If you push it to the right far enough, three roller-finger spring out. (There are set screws that limit how far you can normally move it but I have them out, so normally you couldn't move it enough to expose the fingers.) Notice that the end is threaded.
All of this stuff has to come off the spindle BEFORE I can pull off the pulley. The entire contraption seems to be pressed onto the end of the spindle, although there are some set screws too, which I've removed of course. I've shot Blaster all around it and tapped on it, but nothing budges.
So I thought maybe I can take off the afore-mentioned sliding part and see if there is something under it holding the inside part to the spindle. The problem with THAT idea is that the outer sliding tube is keyed to the inner tube, and the groove for the key doesn't run the length of the tub, so the key has to come out before the outer tube can be slid off.
The key, as shown here in the circle, appears to be a press-fit. Taping on it, or sliding the outer tube to the end of the groove and then taping on it in hopes the key would lift up, didn't work either.
So, I'm stuck. Any ideas?
