I’m at my wits end. I have never had something like this stuck so bad. My spring inside the lift handle needs replaced. The plate openings that hold the lift rod are damaged also. I need to simply slide the handle hub off of the shaft. I removed the E Clip then couldn’t get it off last year. I heated it and tapped on it and soaked a rag in PB Blaster and left the puller rigged up to keep pressure but once again it’s not coming off. I’m thinking about either drilling the key way out or drill a hole in the top of the hub to just touching the shaft so I can keep the hole full of penetrating oil.
