Vaddy front pivot packer

Anyone had issue with the two main shafts seizing up (the ones that the wheels are bolted too) and tips or tricks to unseize them, got one that moves ever so slightly but other is tight. Would a press push them out? Dont really want to start cutting them out.

Yea should press out ok probably worn bushes allowing dirt in and siezing up won’t be that tight

Yes they are a tad worn, guessing the bushes are the same as the main central pin, one each end circa 1" wide. Taken off and being carted off to someone with a girt press so fingers crossed!
