Technical Removing spring shackle mounts

How do you remove the mounts for leaf springs on a front axle of a Model T?

heat, press.. beam looks really rusty.. your going to have fun there.

 

PB Blaster also soak them

 

if you were closer I'd just give you an axle . I have a pile of them you can have!

 

If it's the axle you want to save I would just look for another without the perches. T axles are worthless.

 

If you have a air impact tool you can often drive them out.

 

I rounded off the end of an old hammer drill bit, put it in my Bosch hammer drill, heated the axle a bit, and drove that perch pin right out

 

How about using this recently posted HAMB homemade tool.

Looking at that photo, is that axle actually worth saving or are you after the perch?

 

I put my A axle in a hydraulic press and put a considerable amount of pressure on the perch then got the hot wrench out. One came out and was salvageable and one cat out with some damage! Makes a nice loud bang when they start to move! It’s for sure a job for a press and heat!!! Best of luck

Yes, tickle it with some heat from a torch.
From your pic above just run the flame up and down on the front and back face of the axle where the perch bolt is located.
What you are trying to achieve is to heat the axle on both sides so it expands and hoping the perch bolt remains mostly cool, hence the hole gets a whisker larger and releases the perch bolt.

If the perch bolt get too hot, it also expands and stays stuck in the hole...
