46 pickemup in NJ "the Rebuild"

Mine was frozen too. If I remember right, I bought the replacement inserts, cut the frame at the v to try to get better access. I then tried to tap on the inserts to break them free. This didn't work, but they would only go back farther in the frame, so I drove them all the way inside the frame until they were out of the way, put the new inserts in, screwed them together, and I was done. This is the way I done it, it worked for me, maybe it can work for you.

WOWZA Cursed Gears! You sir are a genius! You either saved me a hole bunch of work, or about $400! Your trick worked like a charm. I cut the frame at the bend, and then drove the dowel pins down into the cavity of the frame. Took about 45 minutes. Thanks again I owe you a beer.....more like a case of beer!
