unsticking inner tie rod tube from tie rod tube

Hello Fellows,

How do you get the inner tie rod tube from the outer tube? I poured PB blaster in... heated it... beat in until my anvil is looking poorly.. and still it does not budge.

It is a JD 420W.

As always.. thanks for the help.

I got it loose by heating it then throwing it in the irrgatin ditch to quench it ,then put in vice and used a pipewrech to work it back and forth a bit and it came out.

Buy a new one, I spent hours on a 4020 tierod tube before it started to get dangerous.
 
On my 40W I had to made some new tubes for I think the outer tie rod ends. I found some tubing that was just right size. I seem to recall maybe having to press the olds ones out ? They may of only been in half way though as I think they were bent too.

Maybe try heating them up in charcoal coals.Then let it cool slow. Others have done that for several things on here.
 
A cousin had an old style JD hoe all rusted. He pulled it into a creek with running water. Don't know how long, but it loosened up.
 
I have good luck using an air hammer with a bit that I made. I split a piece of pipe lengthways and its about 3" long and welded that to an old bit. I put that over the tube and let it rattle. That seems to loosen up the rust well especially if its dry.
 
Puller tool I made to pull an"impossible" draft link apart.

i am with heavyduty. i spent hours and hours on a set for a 4020...thought i was going to save some money-ha. they were destroyed. rust is wicked.
 
You loose some travel on the jack, just make sure it is full of oil or even over full if you fill it on it's side. The arm took a good steady pull for almost two inches.
