Lofrans Airon - help on dissasembly

[cmedsailor]

Hello,
I am trying to dissasemply my lofrans airon windlass. I have managed to dissasembly items up to part 276 (standard version). Please see diagram at http://www.lofrans.it/esplosi/schemi/B05101.pdf.
I haven't found out why to take item 277 (inner clutch cone) off. From the diagram it looks like that you simply pull it, but it doesn't come off. Any ideas?
Thank you
Thank you.

Hi,

Yes it does pull straight off. Unless you have regularly greased it though, it will (may) require some relatively serious leverage. I remove and grease the cone on my Airon each year, so can just lift it off for maintenance (more grease!) but I suggest you try using a couple of old broad width chisels or similar, one each side, gradually tapping them in towards the shaft.

The clutch cone traps a key into a slot in the shaft, and once you have broken the friction on this, the cone will/should come off easily.

HTH's
