Well that was not as bad as expected. I had let it soak overnight with PB Blaster, but was still unable to move any of them this morning. I read about using a Torx bit slightly larger than the allen and driving it in. I tried that and two of three came out within minutes of getting a good bite into the allen. As it was those two had the double set screw. I used the Torx on the outer one and a regular allen on the inner. The last one only had one allen, the long pointy one. Did not want to move even with the Torx bit driven in. I filled the hole with PB blaster and heated it for about 3 minutes with MAP and tried again. Still nothing. Got my impact hammer with a pointed bit so that I was only hitting the center of the allen and ran that for a minute or two to try and break the bond. Drove the Torx bit in again and it backed out without any problem.
Also got the bearing out without issue. It is very wobbly and feels like gravel turning it.
Always better to be lucky than good !
Now I need to take an inventory of parts needed to rebuild it.
Is there a manual somewhere that describes setting this up properly? I see that there is a gauge that comes with these rebuild kits. Also putting this back onto the crank shaft? I found a service manual, but it only describes the 70 and 100 chassis, it does not get into PTO.
I assume that the bearing needs to go on the crank first since that was suppose to stay when I removed the PTO. Just wondering how far onto the shaft it goes. Maybe it is obvious.
Forgot to mention the Torx bit was a T20
