Anybody got any tips on how to remove the chainstripper on this windlass? Is there a special tool or technique .....I have removed the locking bolt!

I found this link for a manual on the 555 Windlass:

Thanks for that gc. I ended up cutting it in half with a saw and then punching it out. We will make up a new one on the lathe.
