Remove the grease nipples then wind the bolts back a few turns then strike with a soft hammer, it should shock the pin out of it's seat. They are tapers so they lock in without turning. Un-do the big bolt and push it in as far as you can, grease will probably squirt out the grease nipple hole. The lower tilt ram pivot pins need to come out to. The bobtach should come off.There will be a bushing where the pivot pins run in the bobtach, if they are worn, replace them when you replace your pins. Ensure all the grease is removed from the taper of the pin and in the lift arm before you put it back together. Dan has a great way to get the pins back into the taper of the lift arms, i do the same. Tighten up the bolts before greasing it, you want the surfaces dry to create a good connection that will not allow the pin to rotate.</blockquote>
