HELP: Ideal 55 Slider- Flapper/Coin Mech Removal

[tshulman]

This is my first Ideal 55 restoration. The machine I got had a bunch of rusted bolts. I am trying to remove the flapper so I can remove the coin mech & bottle rack from the machine. I drilled out a rusted solid allen screw on the top of the flapper, but it is not detaching from the shaft. Am I missing something? Any advice on how to remove this? Thanks!

Since you’re sure you have the set screw out all you can do now is spray the hole full of WD-40 or Kroll oil or any type of liquid wrench type oil .
Or you could try Heat from a propane touch just across the top with of the flapper and use a piece of wood and hammer and tap the flapper away from coin mech .

I’m assuming you have the rack screws out ?

Thanks for the advice. It took some banging with a crowbar and mallet, but I got it off.
