The old driven unit on my predator 212 TC is completely seized on the jackshaft. I bought new driver and driven and i was able to install the driver with no issues but the driven is refusing to come off. I’ve tried a 3 prong puller that completely bent the inner half of the unit and tons of pb blaster and had no luck. Suggestions???

Lots of good penetrating oil, give it time to soak in. A propane torch and some patience should get you there.

Remove the jackshaft. Place the driven on a vise, but don’t crank it down all the way, then use a metal punch (awl) in the center of the jackshaft and beat it out. Do not hit the jackshaft with a hammer or you will mushroom it out.

If you don’t have a vise, you can find a crack in the sidewalk or driveway bigger than the jackshaft and do it that.way.

Not an awl a flat punch! An awl is pointed and will expand the metal.

Something made from brass would help
Thanks for the responses guys, unfortunately nothing worked to loosen up the driven and i had to order a new jackshaft setup. It was so seized it broke through several inches concrete trying to get it loose. All is working perfectly now just waiting on new chain to ship.
