I am trying to widen the factory WFE on my M. One side about fell apart and was no problem. The other side is not so easy.

I have been soaking wirh PB Blaster for several months, no luck. Today I started heating and beating. 7 hours and full tanks of oxygen and acetelyne later I have moved it 2 3/4 inches. I need to go 4 total, but want to get the tube out and clean and lube everything so I do not have a repeat of this.

The only thing that would work for me was to get the outer tube hot and then spray water inside the inner tube and contract it a little and the pound the inner tube out until I could hear it seize in the outer.tube. All this heating and pounding can't be good for this old iron. Does any body have any words of wisdom for me. Thanks. Doc

I had the same problem with mine. I ended up using a port-a-power on one side of the tube and a laid down hydraulic jack on the other side.

Doc,

Been there, done that. All you can do is fight it this time; try rotating with a long bar.

Then, like you say clean it up good so it won't happen again.

Not enough different row spacings for this old gal, evidently. :>)

I think a change in torches might help. I use a propane torch that heats a large area, it uses a 20 or 100 lb cylinder. Its a small tube feeding a 2 1/2" pipe. They are available at welding supply stores or at Norhtern tool. They are cheaper to use & will heat your tube more evenly than oxy/acet. cutting torch. I would get whole tube above 300 deg., spit on it if spit flies off rather than sticking your there, then apply the blaster as it cools, a big pipe wrench or chain wrench may help in working it front to rear to loosen. My 2 cents
