No problem bud. Also if you have a pick set you may be able to scrape a bit of carbon off the shaft/collar joint area. After you have soaked it for a bit. Just be careful not to scratch the shaft.

I'll check back in tomorrow and if you can't get it figured out I will send you my phone number and see if I can walk you through it that way too.

 

Well I got it off yesterday! Used a socket on the turbine end and held the collar with a pair of vise grips. Turned it slowly with the socket and it loosened up without too much effort. Wondering if I should take the turbine/shaft to a machine shop to make sure it is not bent in any way before putting the whole thing back together?
