Well, 3 days of absence allowed the PB Blaster to work, cause when I went to the boat today I swear I could see a tiny hairline area where the shaft had pulled out of the coupling. Each go round of the bolts and I got a few more flats each and beat on it with a hammer. Pretty soon I was getting

I would give it a try. I have never used Mapp gas. You will want to use as hot of flame as possible. On Mon, Jun 1, 2020 at 8:21 AM Josh Muckley via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > You think Map gas will be good enough? > > On Mon, Jun 1, 2020, 11:17 Doug Mountjoy via CnC-List < >

Josh, I used to work in a machine shop where I had to remove gears off of shafts. We used an acetylene torch to heat the gear fast, so the shaft didn't expand as fast. Using a slow heat source will heat the coupling and shaft at about the same rate. You want to expand the coupling faster than

I used a cutting wheel and cut a groove longitudinally down one side being careful not to score the shaft. Then a few surgical strikes in the groove with a cold chisel to slightly spread the coupling. Then it slid right off. About a half an hour minus setup.

Cut the coupler parallel to the shaft using an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel. Try to cut into the key so yuh don’t damage the shaft. I didn’t have enough room to get all the way among the coupler with the grinder so I used a multi tool to finish the cut. Then pound a cold chisel into the

Hi Josh, I had a bear of a coupling removal last fall on the project boat. We did all the usual things first (heat, bolts with strongback & socket, swearing, more swearing & sweating). Lots of peering at it with lights and a mirror too. Anyhow, got a Porta-Power rig from work with a

Getting the shaft out of the coupler is turning out to be quite a trick. I'm using a large socket in the center of the coupler to act as a spacer. Then I'm using the coupler bolts to act as clamps and draw tights against the socket. I have lots of penetrating oil in just about every location
