Gear puller. 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.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Disassembling TIC 1022B
I am trying to repair a well-used TIC 1022B.
I need to separate the gear assembly from the motor. The keyed gear that slides
on to the motor shaft is stuck. I have removed the screw on top of the gear,
and I don't see any set screws. Tried some WD-40. Is there any trick before I
use a propane torch on it ?

Steve, N2IC
