Craftsman 2x42 Drive wheel question

[JMJones]

Anyone ever take one off? I took of the first nut but the drive wheel is still attached and I am not sure what to do next.


Thanks

John

Anyone?

 

[ernestrome]

gear/bearing puller and appropriate application of heat and cold, ie cool shaft heat wheel. Or a hammer!

edit

I am thinking of the older model which is secured with a setscrew, sounds like you have the newer one. Does it look like the drive wheel itself is threaded?

I am not sure if the drive wheel is threaded. I will check tonight and post back.
