I’m thinking a bottle jack wouldn’t work since it can’t function properly sideways, and I honestly couldn’t imagine a hockey puck handling the load, those bushings were definitely on there. But anything becomes an option in a moment of desperation, lol.
What I did was probably a bad idea, but it worked for me. I also could not get the pins out to save my life, so I started using the machine without the bolts. Eventually the vibration loosened the tapered part of the pins and they just fell out.
Did you ever make a video on how to remove the tapered pins from the quick attach plate that connects to the bucket or have some idea on how to get those tapered pins out?
@@Mprobo its the same pins that you had to remove when you remove that bushing from the quick attach plate or am I looking at some thing different all together. Thanks
Looked like the outside of the arm was peened with a hammer in at least one bad spot. That'll make it much worse. A little grinder or dremel tool work first may have helped a lot. At least it did come out though!
