How can I remove the auger assembly to remove the augers so I can drill out remaining piece of shear pin?

You could take off the side panels of the Auger Housing and that should allow you to slide the auger off the shaft.
If you rotate the auger to see in the Sheer pin hole, can you see the remaining part in there? Sometimes the Pin will sheer AND the auger will rotate on the shaft a little bit which prevents you from getting a new pin to pass all the way thru both the auger and shaft. Make sure this did not happen in your case. I'm surprised you cannot get a Drift and knock the remaining piece of pin all the way thru. Again, make sure you issue is that the pin is stuck and not that the auger shifted a bit

I have a snow blower which will start up but it won't move forward in the snow nor will it push the snow. Not sure what is wrong. I can manually move the blade around that pushes the snow.

If you start the machine and the axles spin but the augers do not it is because the shear pins are broke. If you look closely you will see the the augers have shear bolts and nuts or shear pins. If you jam a piece of ice or a stick in the augers while they are spinning the bolts will shear so you do not damage the expensive augers or the worm drive gears. If the axle spins with the augers you may have torn up the front worm gear in the front of the auger intake. If you spin the small auger and the large auger moves but when you start and engage the auger nothing happens you will have to remove the under cover and inspect the drive belt pulleys for jammed or broken parts or more commonly broken drive belts.

I have a snow king 5hp snow blower. while clearing snow, the snow only oozes out the shoot.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A TWO STAGE SNOWBLOWER WITH ONLY ONE STAGE WORKING. I BET THAT YOUR PROBLEM IS THE AUGER IS TURNING BUT THE IMPELLER BLADE THAT IS BEHIND THE AUGER HAS PROBABLY JAMMED UP WITH SOMETHING AND IS SPINNING ON THE SHAFT. YOU WILL HAVE TO REACH BACK AND GRAB IT AND TRY TO TURN IT ON THE SHAFT BY HAND.MAKE SURE THE BLOWER IF OFF!!!! . IF YOU CAN TURN IT BY HAND EASILY IT HAS EITHER BROKE A SHEAR PIN OR BOLT OR SOME TIMES THEY WILL TACK WELD THEM TO THEM TO THE SHAFT. GOOD LUCK

My Craftsman 5.0 horsepower 5 speed forward, 2 speed reverse snowblower has a problem with the auger. After using it this morning working fine now the auger isn't turning. It's about 8 years old and has...

If the blower (impeller) turns and the auger doesn't there is a 90% chance you broke the shear bolts that protect the auger gear box.

Look at your auger and you will find the bolts shown at the arrows in this picture are missing. Some snowthrowers will have two bolts and others like the new Craftsman will have four.
You can get new ones at your local mower repair shop, your local Sears mall store, or online at sears.com.
Use shear pins or shear bolts not regular bolts. The shear bolts are designed to break off so you don't tear out the front gear box.

Replaced shear pins on right side standing at the controls, auger still does not turn?

does the 2nd stage auger turn? if the shear pin broke you may have ripped your belt part also. Take the belt cover off and inspect the belt assembly.

Auger turning slow. Auger turns initially but auger stops turning when it hits the snow. Shear pins look ok, belt looks ok. Shear pins look intact. Could they be broken inside where I can't see.

sure sounds like a shear pin, usually one end will be missing if it is broke. They are simple to replace but get one that is rated for your machine to avoid damage. Can you turn it freely without the engine running?? if so, it's the shear pin

HALF OF AUGER NOT WORKING

When you got something caught in the auger, the shear-pin probably did it s job and broke, to save the gear box. Remove the old shear pin and install a new one
