Default Snowblower Auger Jammed: need advice on how to take auger apart

Hi!

I own an old craftsman snowblower and the auger won't turn anymore. I
think that an object, probably a rock, is logged in there somewhere.
The blower is already opened up and split in two, but I can't seem to
figure out how to dismantle the auger to remove the object jamming it.



Typically you will need to remove the drive pulley, remome the bearings on
the blower shaft and ends of the augers. If it is jammed from a rock or
simular object you should be able to see it. There is a chance that the gear
box from the blower to the auger stripped and the gears are jammed. I have
seen it more times than you want to know!
