How do you go about removing a gear that has been welded on to the crank. This thing is BIG TIME welded on. They slopped a bunch of chicken crap on both sides of the gear and you can't even find the original shaft.
Could you torch it most of it off and have an engine shop turn it round again?
Are cranks easy to come by and relatively inexpensive? Would you be better off to cut the crank to get the flywheel off and buy a new crank?
These are the only options I can come up with, but their have to be more. I can't be the first guy to confront this problem!
Second
Is there a way to get rusted in taper pins out? It can't be punched or pryed out. Can you heat it? Will that cause problems with the flywheel?
Thanks
