Just been in the garage tinkering and took the opportunity to take a picture of mine from the other week, you know, the one that slid off by hand after more than 20 years here's the new one pushed onto the shaft - hopefully this will help with a little inspiration
A fecking great 100kg eejit with a hammer can’t get it off so I’m not sure how a tap will be able to do it However, at this stage I will try anything. Should the tap be a hot or cold one? I’m going to reattempt this ASAP having now laid my hands on 2 old & long screwdrivers. This thought did occur to me, that my engine is ‘special’ and the sprocket and gearbox output shaft are one single piece of hardened, toughened, bestest, most indestructible steel in the whole world! I’m the only owner so no welds but a mirror is a good idea as it’s bloody difficult to see if I’ve cut entirelyvthrough the thicker back of the sprocket. However, judging by the hacksaw marks on the driveshaft spline I’m assuming, and it looks, as though I have. Yes.....why???? Everyone’s going to tell me I should have approached the situation from a different angle now, aren’t you all?
Thanks. Do you have a suggested make for one please? The things I’m looking at are 10ton or 30ton and seem to be for buses. I’m going to Cork tomorrow so big opportunity
