Didn't work on the 1811 today but did some research on removing the rockshaft. Searched the forum and it appears the rockshaft assembly is made a little different on the older ones? I pulled up a parts diagram on a 128 and it appears there are individual pcs on the actual rockshaft. Therefore if nothing wants to move, you could maybe cut out the center section of the actual rockshaft and bring everything out in pcs. This one appears to be one big welded assembly according to the parts book. A quick inspection this afternoon makes me agree with that. I'm hoping its not the same bore size all the way through, hopefully the center piece has a larger bore then the ends are welded in place. Considering drilling a hole in the center and pumping in grease/light oil. Hopefully get the right carb kit tomorrow so at least it will be running before I tear into anything else.
