How do I remove this?
Ok, how do I get this pieces off. It's the u shaped piece that the steering box connects to on the axle in the upper right of the picture. There are 3 bolts holding it on. I have removed them, but it still won't come off. Is there a trick to it, or does it just not come off?
Here is a picture:

Re: How do I remove this?
You may wanna start by getting some good penetrating oil on there then remove the 3 bolts on top. Iirc the washers are tapered and it makes the whole deal a pita..

Clean it off soak it with blaster Big *@#$%# hammer lots of heat and just beat on it till it brakes loose. It's not easy you will use lots of bad Word before it's off
Good luck

Re: How do I remove this?
Ok, I have the nuts off already, and the steering box, is removed since the picture was taken, just couldn't get it off. I tries a small hammer, but sounds like I need to get the BFH out and give it a whack.
Next question, is it worth keeping if I am not keeping the axle itself? Or am I making more work? And lastly, how to I remove the Center Link that goes horizontally across that picture? Do I need any special tools?

Re: How do I remove this?
ok, I have the fork I used to remove the steering box still, so that should work for the ends of the Center Link, correct?

Re: How do I remove this?
ok, That makes things easier. i just need the Center Link cause there is a local guy who wants it, but the rest I can live without. Was just going to remove it so I could sell it, but if it is too much trouble, then I am not going to bother.
