Got a little time and broke the old saw down further. Got to the arbor shaft assembly.
The belt pulley shaft end has a half moon key that is really mashed into its slot. I can't get it out. Being half moon shaped there is no exposed slot in the shaft end to drive in a wedge to pop it loose. It is slightly proud of the shaft and I've tried the bigger hammer approach but it ain't giving up. I don't want to damage the shaft. Any ideas?
Not a great picture, but...

I want to get the shaft out of the housing to replace the stiff old bearings.
Follow up on the galled shaft.

Looks like what my friend thought. There is no play with a blade on it. What's the procedure here?
