hi everyone, here's my problem, a friend has a snapper scrambler (yz16385bve). he can't get the rear wheel off the axle, it is not bolted on it slides on the axle and is keyed to the axle with a circlip holding it on the axle. he has tried blaster,heat, beating on it with a hammer and it won't budge. any body got any idea's?

I split the hub of mine with a saws all, drove a wedge in the kerf and took it off. Any outward force much heavier than a feather will screw up the internals on most.

What I have done is remove the transaxle from the mower. Hang it with a rope around the wheel. So the wheel is supporting all the weight. Hit the axle in the center of the wheel and the transaxle will fall. So don't hang it to high.

Don't try and hit the wheel off of the axle.
