The bearings on my Staton friction drive needed replacing. It seemed like a good time to upsize the friction roller from 1.125" to 1.375" or 1.5", so I ordered both of them as well. I was trying to remove the clutch drum from the roller before the new parts arrive.
No luck so far. Luckily, I kept the drive assembly on the aluminum channel housing to make it easier to remove the drum. Gripping the roller is not a problem with chain vise tool. However, turning the drum is impossible. I've used penetrating oil on the threads, but nothing works. I cut a length of an old leather belt and stuffed it between the drum and spacer. The spacer is less than 4" diameter and shaped like the drum. It engulfs all but .25" of the drum's leading edge.
Since the drum wasn'r coming out easily, I also ordered a new drum and spacer with the bearings and rollers.
Thanks in advance.
