Here's a web page that details removal of a stuck drive. Method number two has been 100% success rate for me.

I came across the below link on eBay. The headstock's "drive insert" is STUCK in the Morse taper sleeve. I even resorted to disassembling the headstock to try to get the two pieces apart. No luck. I've tried "WD-40", "Liquid Wrench", and a couple others. I've also tried placing the piece(s) in the freezer - then removing them days later and they still would not come apart. The only thing I haven't tried is the heat treatment - using a propane torch. Have been reluctant to go that route - saving it as my last resort. The below product claims it should work. (Zoom in on the images and read the labels. It is supposed to make its way into a one millionth of an inch gap. They also state they have a "money-back guarantee.") My question: Have any of you tried/used "Kroil"? If yes - results? http://www.ebay.com/itm/250889118478?_trksid=p11010.c100136.m2769&_trkparms=aid%3D555012%26algo%3DPW.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140212115136%26meid%3Dc771b46a3aac4b6ebb3e1bfed02fbd49%26pid%3D100136%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D261739895537/?ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:1120 In the meantime: While waiting to hear back from The Group, I hope to contact Kano Laboratories and see if I can get a "sample-size" sent to me - either a "drip" bottle or a small "spray" can. (Yes, Bill, let's hope they make a "drip" bottle/non-aerosol version - so you can order some if it works.) Mac "Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who did not."
