You're in a dangerous spot right now, if that hub shoots off " you could put your eye out" ( pun intended).
Attempt to slightly turn the inner face and lock it in a vice without bending it, tap the hub inward and while holding it file the 2 burrs off the end then lightly sand as much of the shaft as possible. Spray it with penetrating oil and you should be able to tap it off. Use a soft hammer.

NOTE; there is out ward and rotational pressure on that hub. Be careful.

2004 argo bigfoot driven clutch....removed snap ring that is suppose to hold cam on but there is a flanged brass bushing which is preventing cam from comming off. See attached pics.

Can't figure out how to get bushing off..anyone have any ideas???

Parts manual and service manual do not identify any bushing holding cam on so perhaps this is a non argo clutch.

I"ve got a retaining ring that has partially come off the lower cam assembly which wobbles the inner shiver at high revs and likely is the source of my problem with the drive belt coming off every time I ride.

This past weekend I had my belt completely invert on me (see pic) twice while driving on flat terrain at moderate speed. I"m already on my third belt this year!



There's a flange on the bushing that is preventing the cam from coming off -I've pushed the cam down on the shaft so you can see the flange


You can see the brass bushing in this shot in the shaft


Inverted belt! Look how chewed up the belt is
