Remove L865 bucket cylinder

[Segundo98]

Hello, blew a seal on the bucket cylinder of my NH L865. Have removed pin on lower end & bolt through top pin but the pin itself will not com out. Any suggestions or tricks? The pin itself passes through the cylinder end and that is what it pivots on. Thinking large pickle fork might work? Thanks in advance.

Could it be a taper that needs to be cracked to release it? If it has a bolt that pulls in in, loosen it, hit it with a hammer to break the seal and it shoudl slide out.

Tazza is right. It is a tapered pin. I have never done any but my neighbor did his. He said he had to hit it pretty hard to break it loose. Leave the bolt in and hit it. He told me that if doing it yourself most just rebuild it on machine. He took it off to have someone rebuild it for him. Good luck.
