'50 3100. While trying to remove/ replace the parking brake linkage I cannot separate the sections of rod that run beneath the cab. I have removed the cotter pins, but they dont seem to matter b/c the clevis pins do not move. Is this rust or is this operator error?

Thanks gents,

Miles

those clevis's do not adjust. just remove the pins and take them apart.

No amount of PB blaster and bfh would remove the clevis pins from the clevis. In fact I bent the rod trying to get these suckers apart.

I guess the stainless replacement f/ Jim Carters is added to the list!

I had the same problem when I took mine apart. Couldn't get them to move with heat, PB Blaster, and lots of force. But the 4" cutoff wheel did the trick. I needed to get that piece out of the way so I could ship the cab off to the sandblaster.

Replacements are on my list as well.
