I feel like a total degenerate asking this but here goes... I am trying to remove the main boom cylinder on my Takeuchi TB180 and i cannot get the pins out!!! On the top pin there is a sleeve welded to the boom with a bolt through it that (i assume) holds the pin in place. I removed that bolt and tried to beat the pin out with no luck. I tried heating the pin and still no luck. It wont even move a little bit
On the bottom pin there is a plate that you remove that holds that pin in place. I removed it and tried to beat the pin out, (on this pin there is about 4" of pin that sticks out for the plate to catch the notch in the side of the pin. I got it to move the 4" either way but when the pin is even with the hole it stops and will not move any further.
Is there something that i am missing here???? I have removed cylinders more than once and have never had a problem. Please share the secret, assuming there is one!!!
Thank you
