I have an outboard spindle on my 42" that is all but seized. It'll turn with a ratchet and socket, but I can't imagine that the belt will turn it.

I removed it complete with the cast iron deck fitting, but I can't see an obvious way to dissemble it: there are no wrench flats on the blade end, so the only way I can envision getting it apart is oilfield style, using a large pipe wrench and ratchet.

I do NOT want to add to my problems with destruction, but I do want to get this spindle apart because I have a new set of bearings awaiting installation.

Thanks for any help.
