Hi all,
I've finally gotten around to replacing the spindle pins, bushings, and thrust bearings on this machine. The right side went well but the left side is giving me grief. The spindle pin won't come out. The bushings are completely gone and it's stuck in the section circled in red. I've gotten it to move maybe 1/16" to 1/8" using a hammer drill as well as just pounding on it but that's it. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to get this pin out? My thought was to cool it using an inverted can of compressed air as well as heating the frame to see if I can create enough clearance to work the pin out. I'll take any and all suggestions.
Thanks!
