Got tis VP 270 drive collar i need to get the tilt mechanism off.

Easy maybe but it will not budge. It was very stiff to even turn but soaked for a week in WD and its free now to turn.

Still though it not will out come out of the collar. it has come out maybe 3mm but i dont want to give to much of the hammer as dont want to cause any more damage that it has. the flange is very fragile and will now need to be brazed up.

Any thought on what i am missing as i am now stumped as to what to do to get the mechanism out. From what i have seen you unbolt the two flange retaining bolts and the unit lift out. sometimes tight maybe.
