Hello Shopsmithers, this is my 1st question post from a purchaser of a pre-loved Model 510. Enjoyed reading the forums the past few months.

Blew the drive tire on the bandsaw and ordered/received 555644 Bandsaw Tire and Adhesive Kit. Read the manual, sheet that can with the kit and the forum on how to remove the Hub/Pulley. Before I hook up my winch was hoping there was a easier more logical way to remove it. Odd I didn't see any keeper on the shaft holding to the shaft.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated and Thank You in advance. Also read in the forums that a picture is always better to assess the problem. See attached.

Remove the bolt above the axle. Part 30 here: http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/manuals/845541.pdf

Once you have removed the keeper bolt mentioned above, remove the drive hub from the other side, and then you should be able to tap the shaft out with a few gentle taps from a deadblow or rubber mallet. It should come right off so be ready to catch it.

Thank you Mike and GreaseMonkey! Sometimes you just over think the task at hand; facepalm.

One more note of caution. Over speeding the bandsaw will cause the tire to expand and come off the wheel. The bandsaw should be run on slow speed.

I know that first hand. It was not done intentionally. I now when changing operations bring the speed back to "A".
