[AJD] wheel pinion bolt removal

[wwwayne johnson]

The pinion bolt on my 50 was rust welded in the pinion.  I drilled two holes 
in a piece of heavy angle to go over the rim mounting studs at right angle 
with the bolt hold.  Slobbered the hole good with gear lube, inserted a 
short pin and pushed the pin with a 20 ton jack.  It took a lot of pressure 
but the bolt finally moved. Once it moved it pushed out easy.  The initial 
movement seated the snapring in the grove.  Took two days to move the first 
wheel and about 2 hours for the other one after I figured out how to do it 
and make the tools.
