Ok so I get my set of secondhand discs and legs, notice that theres a bit of slop in the bottom trunnion and think 'no problem' I'll just swap the relevant bits onto my suspension leg sorted.
WRONG I cant get the bearing/oilseal adapter off the old stub axle, I assume its been Locktited on, does anybody know of a solvent I can soak the thing with to try to get it off with, without ruining the running surfaces?
Locktite seems to be plusgas tite (or wd40s equvalent penetrating spray).

hi
i used a blow lamp to warm the area up and mine just pressed off

Yes - I think it will need to be heated to get it off - and then shrunk onto the other kingpin.

they should be an interferance fit not loctited on so heat should be the only way to get them off

I believe 'Loctite' breaks down at 250 Deg C = so dont get it red hot!

a new bearing set with a new adaptor isnt expensive

Quite normal to Loctite the bearing adapter on. A bit of heat will get it off.
