Hello, I am having difficulty removing the roll pins from the rear coupling on my cub cadet 108. I don't want to hammer away at the roll pins without without getting some advise first. I'm not sure if the force of hammering will damage the creeper drive. Also, I am perplexed with how the coupling is currently secured to the shaft as I can move it about 1/4 inch back and forth vertically on the shaft. I figure there must be some kind of major wear on these roll pins for this to happen. The whole thing is a complete disaster as the clutch assembly is missing the throw bearing, bushing, tenser spring and spring spacer. Anyway, I figure maybe use a propane torch to heat the coupling and then knock the pins out (if I can figure where they are centered on the drive shaft)? Any insight would be appreciated.
