Loader BX23 bucket pin removal.

[pipefitter]

Embarrassingly, I never greased the pins on the bucket. The grease zirk is on the bottom, and it lubes the pin from the center. I never noticed it. The the bucket has some "slop" in it, so I bought a pair of pins, (PN 75532-58740), from a local dealer. I've removed the grease fittings and been spraying some kroil around the pins in an attempt to loosen things up, but they seem pretty stuck. I wondered if anyone had removed theirs?

I don't claim to be smart, but I can't see how sloppy pins can be stuck. Do you have a picture?

It sounds like you're saying they won't slide out.

Did you remove the pin retainers?
