I am removing the outer axle tubes and spindles (knees) from the cast iron center of the front axle. I have the 1" special bolts out and the two clamping bolts loose, but the outer axle on the right side will not come free from the center casting. Does anyone have experience with taking these out when they are stuck? I am considering taking the axle off the tractor and putting a hydraulic jack in the middle of the center casting so that I can apply outward pressure on the outer axle, then whacking the casting with a hammer until it comes loose.... Thanks for any suggestions!
