[TowerTalk] Disassembling TIC 1022B

[Steve London]

I have made progress. The gear has been removed. However, now the shaft key is 
keeping me from removing the entire gear assembly. There should be a slot for 
the key to slide through, but there isn't.

Surely I'm missing something obvious. How was this thing assembled ? How would a 
motor ever be replaced ?

If it is tight enough to require heat for extraction, I find that a propane torch does not generate enough differential heating between the part you want to remove and the thing it is stuck to. Need oxy-acetylene, but that will quickly ruin the temper on hardened parts, so you only do that when you know the part isn't hardened or you are desperate. And also where the heat won't damage something like a motor or bearing.
