Farmi CH260 feed motor

[J Holtby]

Need to replace the lower feed motor on the old Farmi, but struggling to get it off

 

I presume it's seized onto shaft/keyway?

 

Besides taking the plasma cutter to the roller, anyone have any tips/tricks to un-seize a blind shaft??

 

Speaking to another Farmi owner he said Corwen sent him an entire mid section (Inc rollers and motors) when his machine developed a weep in warranty period, thinking maybe they knew it was more hassle than it's worth to get off?

No clue from talking to Farmi direct or looking at the parts diagrams?

A picture of the actual feed roller and how it's bolted on would be good.

Page 27, there are circlips on the right roller bearing.

 

The pump just appears to sit inside the roller without any key, so presumably it's a star type spline, few blocks of wood on the inside and levers.
