Thanks again folks. I have been really busy for the last few days with making armor but I am done with that project and am back on the "old girls"

Trying to remove the pulley for this unit has proven to be the most challenging aspect yet..

There are two screws that set most of the components on this machine. The 2nd screw on the pulley is the one that goes into the keyway and prevents it from slipping. This screw would not move.

In order I tried:
1. Force - Screwdriver
2. Brute Force - bigger screwdriver
3. Brute Force with attitude - screwdriver with vice-grips clamped on them for leverage.
4. PB Blaster (rust eater)
5. Krud cutter
6. Heat
7. Heat and #3....

8. Drilled a hole in the center of the screw with a milling machine and used an "easy out" to remove it.

here is what is left of the screw with the pin that makes up the bottom of the screw.

Now, to reproduce the set screw...
