Vermeer BC 1230A Feed Roller Stucked

[juanm.lasalle]

Hello ,

I,m trying to remove the feed rollers on a BC1230A. The hub that attaches the shaft to the feed roller is stucked. I have heated the hub and tried to remove with a puller but it still stucked.Please help me if anyone here has had this problem.

This is a two section tapered hub, do not use a puller on this, it will make it tighter.

The bolts that were removed from the hub must be threaded into the vacant holes on the hub and tightened gradually, one at a time. This should slowly separate the two sections. Spray lots of Liquid Wrench in the vacant holes before inserting the bolts. Once the hub is separated a puller can be used if necessary.

I had this problem when replacing the BC1000 drum bearings. The threaded holes in the hub stripped. Had to fix with Helicoils to break it loose.
