Topic: removing pivot pins?

[Zane]

so im trying to remove the pivot pins from my steering arms and its not working out to well. any suggestions or tips?

[spc mike]

20 ton shop press with a little heat should do the trick. If that doesn't do it, spray it with some PB blaster then press again.

It is the only I know of, they are a press, interference fit.

yes press is needed, take them to a shop with a press, should be able to do it for cheap. put a strain on my 20 ton when i did mine, load them down then hit side with a hammer and they will pop out.
