So I have learned from this experience. After one hour of struggling it’s time to pull out the big guns.
I cut the nut off in no time and had the bolt knocked out w/in mins this AM.
Then cut off the overlapping lip of the bushings and then chopped out a section w/ a long flathead and a chisel, squirted in some acetone and ATF and the pried inward and pushed out fairly easily.
Fought w/ both pins for a while before closing up shop to put together a Shepard’s Pie and go get a sick child from his dad.
Both pins are pressed outward from the locked side but still not moving much. Squirted each liberally. Will tackle them later in the week.
And there she stands to wait for her girl to get back to her pampering.
