Default Removing Broken Set Screw And Dust Screen Screws
Well now that I no longer have a motor for my 122 its time to turn my attention back to the 147.

One of the set screws in the front pulley broke. How exactly should I go about getting it out? Would a normal screw extractor work? The PTO part of the pulley is in the way, I'm not exactly sure how to get around that.

Also, the four screws holding the dust screen are frozen in there. I tried a good soak with PB Blaster and still no luck. Would heating them with a torch be a bad idea?
