- As a follow up to Tom's post, here is how I did it. First if you take the tub off the frame there is no problem. Using a drift it will pop out with a good blow. With the tub on, a real challenge. One

- Ok, I'll wade back in. My bolt wasn't bent, but frozen solid. I used a 5/16 stud in the bolt head and used a 15/16 socket with grade 8 washers to make a puller. By using the stud I saved the threads

- FWIW, there is supposed to be a tab on the frame that engages with the flat of the 'bolt' head, to keep it from turning. I missed it at first, but it was obvious once the bolts/pins were out. Randal
