I called Kelsem's in Waterloo, Ia. I have 4 bearings, 2 spools and some other parts coming. Got home after work and started in on the stuck spool again. I heated it for a long time, it was close to cherry red and then went to work on it with the air hammer. Nuthin. Heated it some more and tried again without any progress. So I picked up the BFH and started to hit it at the base of the horn with the ball end of the hammer. Finally moved a little! I soaked it down and beat some more and then started driving it back and forth. Got it to move about 1/8 inch. More soaking and more beating and it finally moved some, so with renewed vigor, I kept turning and hitting it. Finally broke loose and came off. There was a small gap behind the small spool behind the bearing, so I drove a couple of small chisels into the space and the bearing and spool moved about 3/8 inch. Supper came then, so I soaked it down good and quit, I think it will drive off OK tomorrow evening. I tried the candle, but there is so much rust inside, the wax can't get in. I did notice, after getting the spool really hot, when it came off, the rust was like powder. I ruined a couple of bearings, but I think I have it figured out now to get the others apart. Chris
