Joe, Note that the fulcrum pin is threaded. In the end where you
remove the grease fitting, after you clean out the grease, you will
see a BIG slot for a BIG screwdriver. If the fulcrum has been well
greased over the years, it will screw out. If not, heat, and a impact
screw driver "may" get it. If it is really bad, time for new a-arms.
Or at the minimum, new fulcrum pin.
Also note Jay mentioned the threaded "cotter" pin. It is a tapered
pin with a little bitty nut on the top side. It has to come out
before the pin will screw out.
