46 bale pickup cylinder broken

I bought a 46 baler last fall and after some fidling with it decided to bale a few acres this last weekend. I'm still figuring out the knotter but was making progress until something broke in the pick up cylinder and it froze up and quit turning. I can rotate it a bit each way but it keeps locking up then. I think I might have a broken roller piece catching inside it. I've tried to figure out how to take the sides off the cylinder to get at the rollers that control the spring teeth angle. I unscrewed the clutch spring and took out the shear pins but can't budge the clutch and gear assembly. Also can't seem to find a way to get the side panels to move or come off.

It's tight and awkward to try working on the thing!

I've looked at the IH parts lists to try to figure out how to disassemble the darn thing but just can't get it figured out. I'd sure appreciate any help anyone can give me!

From doing some research it sounded like the 46 was a pretty good baler, and the farmer who sold it claimed it was. But now while working on it, I've found lots of cobbled up repairs on it and have to wonder if I messed up?
