An tricks for removing a gear/sprocket from a shaft? Trying to remove a drive sprocket from a haybine top roller. Initially I had to drive it on further to remove the key and it moved pretty easily. After key was removed I put a 3 jaw puller on it and it moved back to the original position and that's all the further it'll go. I probably should have burnt the paint off the shaft first...
I've heated it as hot as I can get it with oxy/acetylene torch, and hit the puller with an impact. Broke one puller, but barely budged the sprocket. Now I can't even drive it back on further, just seems stuck.
I considered just cutting the sprocket off with the torch and replacing it, but at $120 I'd prefer to re-use it.
