I tried to get the lift arms off of the rockshaft using a big bearing separator and an axle puller, with heat applied to the lift arm by an acetylene torch with a rosebud tip and had no luck. Here's a pic-
This is what happened to the 5/8" studs on the separator, shows how tight these suckers are on the shaft.
Before this operation the lift arms moved freely, but now they're almost seized up. I guess the heat fried the old lube in the bushings.
Anyone here have any ideas on how to get this mess apart?
Thanks,
