Dave. These are in the top of cabin. Not in the mast. I will get a pic when I get the cover off. I have the sheaves and guard. Just need to get them installed. Thanks. Rog
Well the family’s all gone for a bit so I’ve been on the boat trying to figure this out. It looks like I might be able to raise the hatch at the forward end (hinge) and be able to get to the aft end of sheave shaft. So 2 questions. Has anyone done this and is there a service manual available for this boat. I have nothing else to do.

Went back to manual ansysaw nothing to remove that pin. See if there is a removable panel inside the boat in the area underneath the rollers. If so see what is underneath.
However if memory serves me that pin is held in with 5200 sealant. I think I tried to remove the sealant on the end of the pin I think most forward and then used aflathead screwdriver tapping it out in the area of the blocks. I would recommend a new divider between the sheaves too. I could not tell if lines are crossed and if so redirect them.
Anybody else please chime in. It has been years since I removed that pin. When started out pull with pliers. Send a private message if you need further help.

If that was a metal surround (like the mast), I'd say there was a short group of splines around the shaft. They'd be maybe 1/4 inch long from one end. You'r put the smooth end of the shaft end in first, the the spined end last. Tap in to seat the splines in the glass/metal.
