    Default CMC Clevis bracket replacement

    Anyone had to replace one?

    Can’t get the screws out of the original bracket and can’t get the sheared bracket off the hydraulic arm. Anyone have any tips?

    I've replaced mine a couple times. Broke it again a couple weeks ago, and have to do it again. Use some penetrating oil, and let it sit. You can use some heat on it, but be careful if you do.

    I used a blow torch yesterday, got no where. I’ll try penetrating oil. How did you remove the pin to get the broken section off the hydraulic arm?

    A hammer, and a bolt that was just smaller than the outside diameter of the pin.

    The actuator in my PT130 has died, and I cannot get the top pin out to remove the unit to save my life. I have broken punches, bolts, and hammers, and I've used heat and penetrating oil. A sledgehammer doesn't move the pin a bit. I'm at my wit's end. The entire unit is collecting dust in the shed.

    All that being said to say, good luck.

    Can you drill the pin?
    Honey...I'll do it after the season is over.
