Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Snow Blower, craftsman snow thrower, diameter pin

Question
I am trying to remove the gear assembly on a Craftsman Snow
Thrower. I can not seem to remove to spiral pins. Is there
a trick to remove them?

Answer
Hello Drew:

Use Plenty of Penetrating Oil and Allow it to Penitrate. Tapping Around the Shaft where the Pin is Located while Spraying the Penetrating Oil will Assist the Oil in Doing its Job Better. You May also Require some Heat. Use the Proper Diameter Pin Punch. To View a Breakdown of this Unit Go to this Site Addy, http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/index.action?sid=PSHx20080114x00001 and Enter the Model Numbers and Click Search. From this Page you can View Diagrams and Parts Lists for you Equipment Using the "View Sub Components" Section Near the Bottom Left. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Have a Happy Holiday Season and May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
