[quote="Hugh MacKay"](quoted from post at 17:30:52 08/01/07) Keith: I wouldn't advocate the porta power as the complete answer for every front end. I have seen porta powers snap the spindles and spindle housings right off the front end tube. If they are stuck solid enough, big tourches are the only answer. We just don't want folks thinking that is the ultimate answer. It's fine for the front ends that come apart reasonably easy. My advice to anyone using a porta power, once it's in there tight, make sure the tube moves an amount equal to the porta power every stroke.
Hugh, I understand your concern, I have been using a porta Power (hydraulics) for a good many years to remove and put on bearings and other seeminly unmoveable objects. They can be used incorrectly, as with the hot wrench, one can get materials TOO hot and cause more damage with a torch an the use of hydraulics. I am like Allan in Neb, would rather restort to almost any other means to get an object to move than using a torch.
If you will notice in the middle of picture you will see fairly large hammer, which I use to firmly tap tube to viberate and break loose the rust between axels tubes. Also this axel DID not come apart easy, I bent my extensions on my 4 ton porta power as tubes would not budge. That is when I went looking for my 10T that musta found legs and walked off.
