Hi Marty,

Thanks for taking your valuable time to post this photo & removal description in order to help others with this sometimes very serious & extremely difficult front axle perch removal problem.

Far too many front axles & perches already have gone to the junk pile forever because of guys trying to pound stuck perches out of the axle -- as you mentioned, pounding on the threaded bottom expands the bottom of the bolt in the bottom of the bolt hole like a very tight rivet, thus making removal even more difficult.

Once it moves a tiny fraction, adding penetrant, and/or heating with a propane torch & applying candle wax in the heated crevice helps.

Very much appreciated!
