John, I assume you still have the spirals on the shaft and you are lining up holes in spiral to see broken spiral pin. If so,have you tried driving pin both waysIJIf you have with no luck I usually use an air hammer with tapered punch to drive pin out.This may also involve trying to drive both ways if it does not move in one direction.If you don't have access to an air hammer you may want to get a punch holder to get a better swing at punch.Be careful with this as you will want eye protection for safety. Have had to take front spiral and bearing holder and rear spiral off before to get better access to broken pin and then you can also use heat to expand shaft. Good luck, Hyper Harvest II

Thanks for the advice. After trying with a punch in one direction without success, I turned the shaft 180 degrees and was able to drive it out. Thanks again.
