This one was locked up as well. I think this picture shows what needs to be done except where I put the grease zerk. I used the hone to clean out the rust from the shaft that collected on the bushings. I sanded the shaft to have it cleaned up to rotate easy after installed. There is two bushings inside the housing. One at each end. I drilled a hole between the bushings to tap and install a grease zerk. I didn't think thru the location of the hole I drilled and with the tin back on I can't get at the zerk. It was a chore getting the shaft out with it rusted. I personally decide it is coming out at what ever happens. My moto is don't force it go get a bigger hammer. I don't have time for this crap.
I think I used an air hammer with a long punch to drive it out after it first moved. I started it with blocks of steel in the housing using wedges so I could drive the wedges down from the large opening.
Looking at the picture I remember now that I used a cold chisel as the wedge to spread the blocks of steel. I know I have a lot more at my disposal than most would have as far as steel blocks and tools because of my age and vocations.
