steering arms
 

How do I get the steering arms out of the spindles?

I have the tie rod and drag link disconnected and the castle nuts removed from the steering arms, but they won't come out. is there a locking pin in there, or do I just need some heat and more force?

They are probably just rusted in a bit. Hit them with some penetrating oil an put the nut back on backwards to protect the threads and give the nut a tap with mallet. They are not a tapered press fit. The spindle and arm are machined to align and lock the arm externally. Tim
