Old Leafsprung Land Rovers

Need it out as the chassis is going for galvanizing. It seems to be stuck on the interior collar.

My get the wife to stare at it, she makes everything shrink................

It will be tight at the bottom. You could do with getting some push or pull on it somehow to load it up, then whack the top about as there is  (supposed to be) some play at the top once the bolts are out, once you get it to move you have won, it should edge out if you keep loading it up and moving it side to side, this could take some time.

Sitting it on a jack is agood idea, if you still have enough weight with the engine etc still in?

how did it come out then

I remember taking mine out of the Lightweight. I had armed myself with assorted 'weapons', hammers, jacks and an' all that shite, ready to do battle with the bloody thing.
Anyhow...undid the bolts and the wotsit at the bottom...got ready to wield me biggest hammer and bray several shades of shite out of it....and oh how disappointed was I when it just popped out!!! To say I was shocked, but so **** pleased was an understatement to say the least!!
The previous owners (the RAF) had obviously had the relay out at some stage in its life and when it was put back in they had absolutely smothered the thing with copper grease and this had made all the difference. Needless to say I followed their lead when I put my new one in...lagged copper grease all over the fucker! I'm not really expecting to have to take it out any time soon but if I do I fully expect it should just pop straight back out again, or I hope so anyhow!
