Paul,
Some photo's of the rotor gear removed, showing front and back of gear.
They are bigger photos, is that a better size?

Those are perfect. Thanks. How did you get the gear out?
Were the pins hard to pull once you had the gear out?

Paul,
As I had cut the rotor in half, I could just punch them out. I was surprised
how well seated they were, and the fact that they are 'one inside the other'
type spring pins, would make them doubly difficult to remove from the
outside.
I suggested to Larry that a 2 piece rotor, friction welded together might
make a good project. I mentioned this as the internals are simpler to do on
a CNC looking from the centre - then finishing from the outside. To my mind
it would be simpler than making patterns, casting and then machining. For
production of numbers and economy of scale it might be a different matter.
