Post by: TheGarbageHunter on October 03, 2015, 06:08:22 pm

Without pics not sure. In general parts that won't come loose are blocked by extra paint rust and such... and a strong chance of other issues.

OK there is a tool that Funtronics Sells to help remove the crank handle.  I'll give you a call  later on today about that.

You have to remove the set screw on the bottom of the handle, then with a spanner wrench, remove the nut on the front. Then it just pulls off by pulling straight ahead. If not, you will need penetrating oil shot in behind the spanner nut and probably heat, since the handle is pretty tight on the shaft to begin with. Rust is the only thing holding it on. Good luck!

      Looks like it is just pressed in and secured with the 2 fasteners.
      Can you make a tool similar to a wheel puller?
      Have it hooked to the back of the housing, tighting the bolt pushes the coin mech shaft through the handle body.

Well I'd spray with PB Blaster, let that soak 48hrs tap with a hammer. Repeat. It will break loose at some point.
Best of luck!!

Yeah pretty sure it's just stuck... I think I used some heat on the shaft part.. scorched the paint but no biggy as was being restored.

the handle I think is pot metal so don't put heat on that..  heat, tap, repeat..

If the handle is pot metal I would be careful heating the metal shaft. Too hot and it could expand enough to break the pot metal.
