Thanks, CASO, but no...
My problem is the well-and-truly glued bushing in the spindle. Whatever method the PO used to put it there, I'd love to repeat. The bushing isn't going anywhere!
I like the idea of the hacksaw blade cutting near the zerk hole to collapse the bushing, but worry that I'll damage the bore.
I guess that at this point, there's not much more to be done though. Any other thoughts?
