[Healeys] Looking for ideas

[richard mayor]

Heat, heat and more heat.  Each time spraying it with WD 40 ( I buy the stuff in gallon cans). When it's really hot the WD40 just instantly evaporates or boils off, but at some point, I believe it starts to wick in.  Sooner or later it will free up. In my experience, using a lot of force does a lot more damage than the heat.
Good luck.

I left the seized shackle pins in both sides of this BN1 when it went off to TechnoStrip in the hope that they would come loose.
They didn't so I've spent an inordinate amount of time trying to extract them without wreaking the mounts on the frame.
Made a special puller, applied loss of heat, drilled right through each bush, grumbled a lot but they will not move despite being subjected to massive amount of force.
Any ideas...damaging the mounts in the chassis makes for a very tedious repair.
