I posted a while back about needing to take the angle attachment off of my Waldon blade. One

pin came out hard and the other one was stuck tight, looks bent. I cut the attachment off with a sawzall, now what to do about getting the pin out. The sleeve is welded thru the frame, so no way to get heat to it. I hit it with a hammer and punch a bit, but it just laughed at me. Wondering whether to try to cut pin out with the torch from the bottom, maybe if I can get part of the bent part cut out it will then drive out, or just put it up straight and weld it solid. Pics of the cut off pin are on my phone, I'll post them seperate. Any ideas??Thanks, Chris
 
Have seen people who are pros with an Oxyacetaline torch heat it yellow white and then hit the oxygen trigger and just blow it out. You really need to know your stuff doing that.
 
Tried for 3 pictures, not sure what I?ll get

Well, I got one but it took 20 minutes. Done for tonight
 
The problem is that the underside is where it's bent and there isn't much room to see what you are cutting. Chris
 
I watched my dad cut a nut off a bolt with a torch and thread a new nut on after it cooled. Tried that trick myself a few years ago well lets just say I will never try that again. Didn't learn that craft as good as I thought I did.
 
Stop by a heavy equipment dealer or shop and ask if they have a pin piercer (exothermic torch) you could rent or use. The dealer I used to work for had one, that's how we would get out 3' long pins that were seized. Hook it to a 12v battery, and an oxygen tank, put a rod in it, and then start burning.
 
Well, if it was me and I really wanted it to work like it was supposed to, I would cut that sleeve and pin off just above the beam. Then see what it took to get the slug out of the beam. then if it still wouldn't move, burn the sleeve out of the beam, have a new sleeve and pin made and weld the sleeve back in.

Keep in mind, the sleeve will shrink when its welded, so it had to be a kinda sloppy fit before welding for the pin to go through afterwards.
 
If there is a bend in the pin there is a bend in the sleeve.
If you get the pin out of the old sleeve, what you going to do then?

Torch out both and weld in new and be done trying to save any of it for no reason.
 
You just need a bigger hammer and punch. I would use a 20lb mall. If it's flush with the bushing I use an old socket that just fits inside the bushing as my first punch. I keep a bunch of auction buys around just for that purpose, they work great. Also keep some socket extensions for use after it's broke loose or when longer punches are needed. I find they work better than most things.
 
block up the bottom so that all the force goes to the pin and not get lost with the frame flexing.
