Heyh guys. I got a kind of serious issue here. On my 300u, the rear hitch's upper pin holder grease zerks are broken off. I want to replace them, but they are pressed in and broken off so I need to drill them out, retap the hole abnd put new ones in. Now I need to remove the main rod. I got both end bolts off (that was fun!), and the left cylinder arm, splined hitch arm. Apprently the rod is stepped up, because i cannot push the rod to the right and take it out. So I tried to remove the right hitch arm, but it is frozen on the spline. i have tried soaking it in penetrating oil for days, torched the arm up with my carbon arc (hence the discoloration) and used ice to cool the rod. I have been using a 2 pound sledge and a 1X1X2 chunk of brass stock (as to not damamge the bolthole threads) to pound the rod to the left to get the arm off. I removed the tire and fender to get more swing, no luck. NOTHING even budges it. Am I doing something wrong? Short of cutting the arm in 2 and trying to find a replacement I am at a loss.
If I cant get it off, I guess I'll just have to use a syringe and put grease in whats left of the zerks. It really sucks, there no slop in them yet, and I want to fix them RIGHT, but everyhting keeps going wrong =( The left side came off so easily, because up until i tried pulling the left zerk out and broke it off (I thought maybe the lower part of the zerk was binding up the rod), it has been lubed regularaly, so the spline didnt rust. Not the right side =( If asnyone has one of these arms laying around and would ship it to me via media mail (the cheapest), I'll just cut the damn thing in 2 and that should get it off, but I dont wanna do that just yet.
Any advice would be truly appreciated.
Thanks for helping me out guys, without you I'd have slapped some c4 on this baby a long time ago =P

Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
