Pin holding fork to lift arm

RufusMons · Sep 24, 2017

I'm trying to replace the hydraulic lift leveling box assembly on a Ford 600. The bolt that holds the fork to the lift arm is resisting removal. After removing the nut, it appears driving out the bolt should work but so far no luck. Can someone suggest a better idea before I go for a bigger hammer?

As JMOR said, heat from an Oxy/Acetylene torch.
If you are talking about the lower lift arm, which I think you are
since you're talking about a bolt instead of a pin, you could also
take the whole thing off and put it in a press if needed.

heat, sometimes lots.
air hammer

I know everyone doesn't own a air hammer, but if you mess with old tractors.....you need one.
While a Big hammer and muscle will sometimes get the job done, it spreads the impact force over too wide an area....and stuff gets broken.
Such an important tool....I always keep a couple in my toolbox, because I've had one fail in the middle of a job before..."Now what do I do?"
