Just try and rotate the collar back and forth and pull on the shaft. That will wear down the bur. and then the collar can be pulled off. The bur is on the shaft so once you get the collar past the bur it will not damage the shaft. Then the bur can be filed down and the shaft cleaned and polished.

Alrighty then. A little gentle persuasion with a rubber mallet got the shaft moving enough till the burr cleared the collar. Got he pinion shaft out, but then couldn't get the quill out. I had to put the pinion shaft back in and put the handle back on to get the quill moving. It's all out now, and not looking too bad. Mostly just appear to be gummed up with grease. And the spring housing and spring are packed full of saw dust. So I suspect a little cleaning and lubricating will get these moving better.

For lubrication here, do I use machine oil of Johnson's paste wax?

Yep. I need to pick up some paste wax and some evaporust...

Now onto the drive sleeve. Looks like I'm going to need some penetrating oil. I loosened the setscrew, but nothing is moving. All I have at the moment is WD-40, so I suppose I'll give that a try.

Some one had put a sticky tar like substance on it and that resisted removal. If yours has that as well a bit of heat might help to soften it up.

I believe there is only one set screw, but the bolt that hold the upper pulley guard may also bear on the drive sleeve.
