Freedom 800 Windlass ?

[DaveBMusik]

Has anyone taken a Maxwell Freedom 800 apart? I went to replace the chain wheels after it chewed on my new rode... The top wheel came right off but I couldn't lift the bottom one off.
I looked at the replacement wheels today and the two halves are held together with small bolts. The boat is three hours away and I'm not sure if the small bolts are sheared off or if this was a design change.
Should I drop the motor assembly or is there is some trick I'm not seeing. The Maxwell manual is not much help...
