I'm trying to silde in the rear wheels on my 66RC and cannot move the u-bolts to loosen the hub. I've heated, soaked w/Kroil, hit, and finally w/sledge hammer(carefully) hit the head of a bolt fastened to the threads w/ deep nut, and they will not budge. I'm a Farmall man with this one RC, so maybe you Oliver folks have a trick to this problem w/o breaking the hub or cutting the bolts and pressing or drilling them out. Thank you for any input.

I have removed several that were rusted real bad. Some I have not been able to save the U bolts but have most of them. I take the nuts up to where they are even with the top of the bolts, some times with the help with a lot of heat, get someone to hold a long chunk of bar stock over the nut and get onto it with a heavy sledge, first one side and then the other. I use the fire wrinch on the hub over the U bolts also.

Had the same problem on my 88. Finaly had to cut the bolts and replace them with new ones. The new ones only cost about $7 each. Take it to a shop with a large sledge hammer, large cold rolled round (about 2" diameter) for a punch, place in a strong vice or stack of steel blocks and beat the heck out of it.

This might work while on the tractor but it didn't work for me.
