UPDATE: truck and diesel shop was able to remove the perch bolts. Guy who did the work wasn’t there when I picked it up to find out how it got if freed but axle does have some “battle scars”; one end of axle is has slightly out of round perch boss and bent a little up and in. Good thing a have someone lined up to lower it and will bring it back to life. Thanks all. D
