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 ?

I wish I’d had one on a Sunday afternoon at 140’.

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 ?
