Any Idea How To Get This Off?

[Outlaw_6]

Trying to replace the motor on my Boss Buck feeder and this oval nut thing holding the spinner plate on is the only thing in the way.

Other than a grinder or pure brute force, I think i am just out of luck. Boss Buck was zero help.

Any suggestions is appreciated.

Thank you!

Wrench, it’s flat on 2 sides.

I think it is pinched on

i'd brush off as much of that gunk you can and squirt some pb blaster then wrench on it

Just cut it. You're going to need a new motor most likely anyway if you wrench it enough to get it off.

Looks like it has circular scratches on the metal around the nut. It's most likely threaded.

WD40 and visegrips. It will probably shear though. Soak overnight with knocker loose maybe.

Square it up with a dremmel and put a wrench on it

Get you a set of carburetor adjusting tools, I eat one of them would fit.

Look on the underside for a small set screw

This is correct. On the other side of the plate there will be a small set screw you have to loosen to remove spinner plate.

Undo set screw and soak with something to break down the corrosion

Do u know anyone that has a press? Cut the shaft on the motor side and press the shaft out.

That is the motor shaft. It has a flat side on one side of the shaft. When you have a motor, with a flat sided shaft, there will be a screw holding whatever the motor is driving onto the shaft. So being a spinner, look on the top of the spinner or the other side of the spinner blade and look for a hole that is perpendicular to the motor shaft. There should be a allen head screw threaded into the spinner blade, which holds the blade on the shaft.

They do the same thing with pulleys, gears and all types of other pieces, attached to motor shafts. As rusted up as that shaft is, you will be lucky, if you don't round out the inside of the allen head set screw.

Needle nose vise grip
Maybe a small pipe wrench
