I'm installing Top and Tilt on my L5740. The instructions recommend moving the easily adjustable lift arm from the right side to the left, then installing the hydraulic cylinder as the right lift arm.
Sounds great.
The lift arms on the L5740 are held on by a pin that goes thru what appears to be a piece of cast metal and there are two nuts on that screw on to retain it.
I'm having trouble removing the pins. I suspect they have somewhat corroded to the bracket as I've not removed them in a long time.
I managed to get the left one out using an adjustable wrench to work it back and forth and tapping on the nuts. It was difficult and took a while.
The right one is being more problematic. The location of my rear remotes is also hindering getting an adjustable wrench on it. I know it is simply corroded and may take time to remove.
Any recommendations? Would heat help? I can put a propane torch on it it that should help.
I've put penetrating oil on it, am hoping that it will break free tomorrow morning.
I figured asking here in the meantime might get me a solution I'd not thought of by morning.
Thanks, in advance!
