I couldn't find a picture of one my machines from the hand wheel end and with the stop motion knob off, I know that some of them are different. A good description of the knob that needs to come off first on a

A word of caution about a pulley puller trying to get the hand wheel off after the stop motion -- if it is still stuck, you could break the spokes. LeonF just had a thread about what happens when someone had tried and ruined the hand wheel. VS White clutch removal That is a little different stop motion clutch than what I believe you have on your machine.
