Did I mention we’re powder coating the frame, so we’d like to have the drive shaft out of the swing arm, but I couldn’t get the end nut\u2014which is inside the drive cone\u2014off?<\/p>\n

Took it to my buddy’s automotive garage where a vibrating Snap-on tool (looks like a 1950s little ray gun), followed by an impact gun, got it off. Not easy, but not bad: about 15 minutes of contemplating and actual elbow grease.<\/p>\n

The pressfit part\u2026much harder. All sorts of pounding and vice-holding and blowtorching wouldn’t budge it. However a 10,000lb half bearing press, plus some blow torch heat did, barely, and with a bang when it did finally release.<\/p>\n

Beyond me, and almost beyond my buddy’s tool.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seems strange that the press-fit is round-to-round (even if conical) for something applying large amounts of torque on the same plane\u2026but I guess when it’s 10,000lbs to get it to release, sure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A liberating sight.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
