I'm working on a spindle block on a wd narrow front. The top of the spindle block which loads the bearing was worn so I got a replacement from eBay however the wheel spindles are worn really bad and my original wheel spindles are in good condition. I've driven the pin out of the wheel spindle but how do you remove the spindle from the spindle block? The manual I have says to use a combination pulley? Any help would be appreciated thanks! This is my first post. I've done quite a bit of work on this tractor already and I've used the form quite a bit.

They were shrunk in at the factory, no other way they assembled them as tight as they are, I've only taken a couple apart, .008 to .010 interference if I recall. Only way I found to remove them is a LOT of heat in a hurry, as in more heat than the you will ever get from the common torch found at most farms and machine shops, the torch I used is for flame hardening, equivelent to probably a half dozen rosebud heating tips.
