I can't get the u joint off the wheel spindle to be able to remove
it to redo the bearings and dog pin. It has a pin which will not
move with a hammer blow or yet the u joint won't even wiggle
on the shaft itself. What is the trick? Seems like things are
press together, more than just the usual 30 + years of rust
conditioning.
 
use an air gun with a punch and the vibrations should break it loose, along with penetrating oil.
 
I ran into that with one I bought last summer. I ground it off (thinking the pin had mushroomed when the last person installed it) then ended up drilling it out and replaced the pin with a bolt. I tried heat and pentrating oil for two evenings before I finally drilled it out. Made me cuss a while too.

Both U joints were out and had been run a while that way a while.
