About a year ago I posted an answer to this. Don't know if it is the arcives or not. It takes three bottle jacks all under EQUAL pressure. Make some jack extentions out of black pipe with a cap screwed on to the end of the pipe and a pipe coupling welded on to the end of the cap to go over the jack(s). On the other end of the pipe VEE so a short angel iron can be welded into the VEE. Then take two flat steel plate the same size as the bottom of the jack(s) and weld a VEE angle iron on to the plate. Guesset the VEE to the plate Build blocking under the Wide front so that jack lays level with the axel and right tite up to and under the Sq axel casting. That jack goes from the knee starting with your VEE extentions, then your jack, then your plate with the VEE up against the pitistal casting. Second jack setup is THE MOST IMPORTANT. Set up the same way on the other side. THIS WILL PUT EQUAL PRESSUER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PEDISTAL CASTING SO YOU DON"T BRAKE YOUR CASTING!!!!! !LEAVE THE BOLT IN THAT SIDE. Once good and snugg, leave that jack alone. Third jack goes on top of the SQ axel housing with the base of the jack up against the tractors frame and the VEE extention on the upper part of the knee where the cast steering arm goes. Remove the steering arm. But leave the spindel in the knee. SAFETY FIRST!!!!NOW wrap a log chain around both jacks and the extentions with the axel in the middel. On the side you are working on just put Pressure on the top and bottom jacks. Heat and JUST NO MORE THE ONE strock on the jacks. Go to town for coffee. Heat again. NO MORE THEN ONE STROKE ON THE JACKS. Go see the guy next door. Heat again. ONE STROKE. Go play with the kids. When that side pops clean up the parts where they slid in and out both in the casting and the knee rigth down to bare metal and coat with Never siz. Put that side together with the bolt. Remove the bolt from the other side and do the same thing on that side. You don't want to just jack out the knee, but put steady EQUAL pressure on both the top and the bottom of the knee. It's worked in the past for us, but only needed once per tractor as then the never siz will keep it from seazing again.
