on my 59 viking 60 the brake pedal is attached to the lever connected to the master cylinder( there is a song here somewhere) by a threaded end on the brake pedal shaft. How do you get the pedal loose from the lever? Is it a press fit? Does the brake pedal have splines? I can't take it out as a unit because the pedal shaft goes through the cab floor. Tried a little puller but no luck. Heating is next unless someone has a better idea. Any suggestions?

usually requires a BFH with the nut backed off to prevent buggering the threads ... I seem to recall the pedal part is lightly splined but the hole in the lever isn't, really just a press fit that gets rusted pretty solid after years .... keep fightin grin
