The price of a new blade holder boss would have been a cheaper option. Using a slide hammer is one of the hardest (if it has been on the shaft for a long period of time) ways of getting a boss of the crankshaft.

Here is a simple fix for getting the boss off the crankshaft.


1. clean the crankshaft up to shinny
2. Then apply some WD40 to the clean shaft
3. Then get a socket that is larger diameter than the shaft and smaller than the boss
4. Drive the shaft to the engine casing
5. Then clean the shaft showing after pushing the boss down to the engine casing
6. Once you have done that the WD40 again and slide the boss off

If you follow this procedure in future you will be able to place the damaged boss into a vice and drill out the broken bolts or just replace the boss.

It should only take about five minutes or less to get boss off the shaft. cheers2
