Russ at southside.......is where I would start. He will probably put you on hold or put the next person on hold but he always answers the phone.

Who did you buy it from? I would try to call them....
 
DO NOT BEAT ON THE SHAFT! If you do, it will bend and be useless. Saturate the hell out of it with penetrating oil, let it sit, and try again tomorrow.
 
The bearings need to be pressed off so you can press on the new bearings but clean up the shaft when the bearings are off and check for nicks and scratches that can damage the seal.

Instead of buying a press and doing it myself I send them out and have them rebuilt.
 
i feel the need to tinker with things all the time. i pulled this one out of a barn, and i love breaking stuff so i dont mind the possibility of destroying it...lol. well crap i have access to a press, but am wondering if that is needed i did manage to pick alot of the bad bearing out, thanks for the penitrating tip, wd40 just wasnt doing the job:) so im confident ill manage to remove the rest when i have the time, but one more ? the literature says to put locktite on the outside of the bearing. is this practiced? or just recommended? im kinda missing the point in that being there is fastener clips on both top and bottom of the shaft, seems like it is what made it miserable for me to remove in the first place.
