Any suggestions on getting the top pin out that the T&T rotates on.
Yes I removed the cotter pin on the starboard side. I also cut out a little of the bracket on the starboard side for easy access to the pin with a punch
I had a slide hammer, air hammer guns, 4lb hammer w a big punch, heated the surrounding frame with MAP gas.
And yes put a lot of PB blaster on it.
Will not budge.
Then I cut the flange off the port side to see if I could get it to move from there and again no luck
I'm tempted to get up under there and cut the pin on both sides of the tilt ram to at least get the T&T out to get it rebuilt.
Wondered what your thoughts are.
Thanks
