Flame wrench, aka.. Oxygen/acetylene torch
tried that ... as i said cut bolt off and now try to knock stud thru hole not happening ...
Heat the axle around the bolt, then touch a wax candle to the bolt letting it flow into the bolt hole. Then you should be able to knock it out while its hot.
When you said you cut it, you didn't say with what..
As suggested, heat it again and while hot, melt some candle wax into the hole (or where it's supposed to be!) It may take 2 or 3 attempts but it works!
Last night I found a puller on the Hamb for removing the perch pins. Scroll down to post #25Quote:
