I'm taking apart a 51 1/2 ton AD speedometer for refinishing and can't get the needle socket off the shaft.
As far as I can tell it's a friction fit and should just pull off. Probably it's a friction and corrosion fit by now. Does anybody know any tricks for pulling off the socket and needle hub without snapping the shaft?
I thought about adab of penetrating oil like PB Blaster, but they are pretty small pieces.
