Awsome Site - Perch Removal

[MartyAndrew]

Hi all. Just wanted to say what a great site this is. I just realized my front axle is bent and now I had to remove my perches, which I planned on leaving alone. Some searches on this site and links to old perch removal threads, and I found the perfect solution: 1/2" extension in the bushing hole with a pipe on it to twist the perch, and a wheel puller to keep tension in the push-out direction. First got the perch twisting a fraction of a degree at a time, then kept at it. Then put the puller on and a twist on the perch, a crank on the puller, and repeat, and both are out! I initially planned on pounding and would have surely wrecked them. Thanks to all you experienced contributors!
