Put the leather around the shaft and got the husband, vice grip and had him turn it slowly back and forth, we heard a small crunch and it was free. Added more Liquid Wrench and hand turned the shaff. Let it set for a while and then put everything back together. Turned it on and it started to sew. I wiped everything down and then oiled it.
My DH used force on my Singer 500 - it is now my donor machine - use caution - the liquid wrench should do the job if you got it in the right places and let it set. For my machines, I do not use Liquid Wrench - it can harm the finish Tri-flow works just fine.
