I am trying to remove the auger motor but it is stuck. Is there just the one collar screw holding it to the auger? Any suggestions?

You don't say the model of your stove, but generally there is only one bolt holding the collar on. Make sure that you have made enough turns on the bolt, so that it is far enough out, and not hanging up. Depending on how much you use your stove, there might also be some rust... try using some WD 40 penetrating oil, wait a bit, then gently tap on the collar to free it. Otherwise, try to remove the auger with motor intact. (you must remove all pellets, and vacuum out and pellets that are still in the box, on the screw) Then you will be able to diagnose better. On my stove, there are 4 bolts to completely remove the auger. Hope this helps.... You don't say the model of your stove, but generally there is only one bolt holding the collar on.

Yes, just the one screw. What happened with mine was the pellet dust bound the auger, this stripped the motor drive gear, but also twisted the collar screw which is located on a machined flat surface, When this happens it scores the shaft with the collar screw making it difficult to remove. You cant hurt it any more so just make sure the screw is backed-off and use a small prybar or whatever gives some leverage. It should come loose. A little heat and spray lube may help, as well.

Yes it is just one screw it has to be almost out and it is kind of tough to get the motor off the shaft! I think I hd to use a long screw driver as leverage! Good luck. And install was much easier then uninstall!

On the unit I purchased last year there is only one bolt to be undone. It must be removedand reinserted when the auger blades have been sprung to the required setting. This is easily doneand assures that the chosen setting remains that way during use.

Yes, but there is an o-ring on the auger that needs silicone grease that acts as a seal. I clean the auger separately. James

I use a flathead screwdriver and pry it off. There are 3 little pieces that hold it in. I found the first time that I need to be more aggressive than I thought was safe, but it came off with no damage. Just work the screwdriver around the outside metal ring and you'll get it off.

The distall end of this tool appears to be fixed, with no way to remove. Perhaps you could contact Black & Decker or do an internet search to see if there is an "owners or operating manual" for this tool.

My husband just unpacked his Hitachi C10FCE2 miter saw and also cannot get clamp lever to move. We can't find anything bolt or screw that needs to be adjusted in order to get this to move. Any suggestions....please?

O.k. Thanks! I'll try that tonight. I saw that short knob and I keep messing with it, but nothing is happening. I think I'm not doing it right though so I'll try again and maybe get someone to help me. When I jiggle and pull the knobit, do I pull on the base of the machine at the same time? Just making sure I understand what to do here. Thanks again!

Use a good drill bit and don't push it and it''l work fine. Use some oil on the hole if larger than ~1/4 inch. Otherwise it is a continuous duty type motor that I have drilled a series of holes over a period of time and driven dozens of screws in short order. Doesn't heat up and keeps a good charge.

Hi Linda I believe that is a screw to hold that piece onto the bottom of the driver, I basically took the driver out of the box, went down to my local driving range, and started using it.

Take off the plastic pieces on top all of them and the tool will just screw on the top and come off. If this don't help you let me know I will send you a video of me taking mine apart.

Try starting without the foam air cleaner filter. Replace the fuel (add stabilizer) and the little fuel filter in the tank. If that doesn't work change the plug. If all else fails save the auger bit and buy a new one...

We never had that problem. Very sharp blades. Make sure you are pressing straight down on the auger. We bought replacement blades as a precaution, but were lucky to find a reputable blade-sharpening business in our town.

Hello Luz, I've taken these apart before for a chiropractor office, but this repair job I normally don't do since my trade is carpentry. There's really nothing to it, a motor and a plate. My guess if you hear the motor, that's a good thing, Perhaps somehow the connection to the plate vibrated off. In any case, see about what it would take for you to open it or someone handy you know if you're out of warrantee already and see what's not connected or broken. I hope this helps with your product's and knowledge to failure, it really sounds isolated from anything out of the norm. You may write back if you get it open and need more information with what you see if you're not sure. I will open mine up so we know how a working one is set up working. 9 times out of 10 almost anything can be resolved comparing with a working one and a non-working. Good luck

I got mine off with a flat screwdriver, but use a vise to hold motor or you'll end up stabbing your self. Trust me

My pump motor had failed, but I ran into issues trying to remove the motor from the housing. A couple bolts had rusted to the threaded inserts in the housing. Ultimately, I was able to remove the bolts and replaced the inserts (not easy). I was also successful in getting the new motor attached and sealed against the old housing and this lasted for a year, but the pump/housing joint started leaking in the 2nd year, so I ended up replacing the housing with a new one and wished I had done it right the first time...Hope this helps...

I just used a thin screwdriver or an awl would work. Just push down on it, it breaks off pretty easily. The just turn it over and shake it so the piece fall out.
