Backhoe BX25 Backhoe Pin Alignment

[sw03]

Too funny, My bx24 BH (1) side is easy and the other, well, 20lb sludge gets pulled out for the install. Might have to try the sandpaper deal.

I've taken mine off/on a few times just to see how hard it would be. I was surprised how easy it was. No problems, except to remember to turn the tractor off to release the pressure
Alignment has not been a problem, but I don't try to lift the rear. I move everything till it lines up and slide the pins in. It does take me a minute or so, but I'm not one to rush something like that and would discourage the use of a BFH to line things up. If it takes that, somethings not right.

My left pin was practically seized when I first removed it, since I dont think it had been removed by the original owner in 3 years but it did come out, I did the grease trick and it is definitely better but always harder than the right pin. I will do what others have tried here and remove a bit of paint. I always have to fool a bit with lifting it for it to come out where the others always just come right out.

I am a newbie also and first time removal was the same problem...left side just would not cooperate (in or out), but in my case, when I dropped the lift on the bucket (weight on the wheels), it comes right out. Nothing like all the videos I have seen.
