Box blade ripper question

[Typhoon]

Hey guys! Ok here is my situation. I have a Landpride boxblade, and my ripper points are worn down to a nub. They are crimp on's. So I ordered some new points from agrisupply, the Italian ones. They are also crimp on's. My question is, how do I remove my old worn ones? As far as the new ones, I can get them crimped on no prob, but getting the old ones off, I have no idea how to tackle it. Any ideas? Thanks!

ericher, I had already looked at that post... but my question is actually about how to remove the old ones. I know how to install the new ones.

Single jack and a stout chisel. If they're aftermarket you can get them to split like the photo on the other thread. If they're OEM see below...

Cussin' helps.

What do you mean by "single jack"? I have a stout chisel. Please explain..

 

[RDrancher]

Single jack= Short handled sledge hammer. That's how I end up doing it if I break one on the job. At home I use an air chisel. The chisel needs to be wider than the opening. Take the chisel and place it across the opening and beat on it.

Ok I got ya!! Thanks for the tip! I am going to try and tackle this tomorrow. And hopefully the cussing will also help, I am sure I will be doing some of that. hahaha.

Have you tried to take a drill and drill out the dimple? Some of the teeth look like just the lower part is harden steel while the top is mild steel.

I haven't but it couldn't hurt to try. Good luck to ya!

I've never done a tip before but my thought would be to heat the crimped area to red with a torch and bend it until it disengages. Since nobody has mentioned it yet it may not be the ideal method. (Disclaimer)

Whenever I get a new implement my tendency is to hardface whatever contacts the ground (disc blades excluded). Never had to replace a tip yet.
