Thanks, Tubs, for the pictures. I think my problem is in the peened-over part, though. I will have to take it further apart than what you have there.

Thanks, Seakaye, for the manual page. Yes, I do have the manual; but I never thought to look at it, as I thought that it was not a serviceable part. And no, I didn’t look at the parts diagram either!! So it seems like I can grind the peen off and get it apart. But what seems vague is how I would peen it over again on assembly, if I ground off material. I guess I would need to have a new center shaft.

Crosbyman, I have soaked and sprayed it until the cows came home, and then some. It was originally very tight but is much better now. Still, it seems like If I could get it all the way apart, I might be able to get it VERY freed up, which may solve my ultimate problem.

Long live American manufacturing!
