removing shaft from axel - going to try a 100 ton

Well, since heat combined with pressing using a 20 ton did not work to remove that hunk of shaft from the F20 axel (for use on our Regular which has bad threads)... husband stopped at two local shops yesterday and they gave it a whirl with their air-driven presses (one was 20 ton, not sure of tonage on the other). NO WORKEE, they cannot budge it either. But they were really nice and did not charge him anything for giving it a try.

Tonight he's taking it to a machine shop with a 100 ton press. Figure something's going to happen - don't know if it will be good, bad or ugly; but something ought to happen.

I guess worse case scenario is that if the guy with the 100 ton press breaks it to smithereens, my husband will have to remove the entire front pedestal of the Regular and haul it in to have the axel repaired and rethreaded. Tonight will determine what happens next.
