Traction drive on a craftsman snowblower
I have a Craftsman snowblower that needs the sprocket changed that provides traction to the wheels. In order to get at the sprocket I need to remove the friction wheel, (not to be confused with the rubber friction disk) In order to get the disc out I need to remove the rod assembly as it prevents the disc from moving up the shaft. Does anyone have any idea how to remove the rod assembly? I have attached a picture.

Have you tried to Google the brand and model number?
Often you can find a repair manual online that contains a parts explosion that will show how it goes together, and in some cases, explains how to do repairs step-by-step.
I hope this helps.

Yes, I have tried that with no success, it seems like Craftsman doesn't make the more detailed repair manual for this machine.

Try a cutting torch, that should do it nicely. Just kidding, sorry I have no idea on snowblowers.

If it's anything like their self-propelled mower's, they will have E-clips or C-clips hidden in the grease. Removing one clip won't always work. Sometime a couple and then a shaft will slide and you can imagine where it goes from there.
Make certain that model # is correct. I tried it and it doesn't match.
Just trying to help...

bluelukelondon, How did you make progress or solve this issue ? Even I have to replace the sprocket and unable to get it off because the friction wheel is in the way.
