hELP REMOVING SPINDLE ADAPTER BUSHING
I have a 46 1/2 ton. The front spindles have adaptor bushings to match with F-1 brakes. I need to get the bushings off the inner bearing journal, to put on a Wilwood Disc kit. They won't budge. Tried heating with a propane torch without effect, and am ready to take the spindles into a machine shop unless there is a better and more inexpensive way. Any suggestions?

Joe, If you dont mind my asking, where is the hellhole? Or at least where is it close to? We moved here to southern Oregon from what I thought was the true Hellhole, Oxford, Kansas.
i really live in Cahokia, IL which is right across the river from St Louis,Mo. , the reason i call it the "HellHole of the Midwest" is because of the weather, the taxes, the insurance cost & where the town in located.
the weather issssssss, well it like this, IF ya dont like it normally if u just wait 10 minutes it'll change. the taxes, well we have the 2nd highest in the state but only see a fraction of it. just like taxes our ours is about 2nd highest in the state. &&&& where is Cahokia located????? in the Mississippi River Bottoms right across from St Louis, soooooo when it's hot & humid
IT's HOT & HUMID ...
see you just happen to be the BIGGER picture of the HELLHOLE, as most of us who have lived in the central states know, weather can change so fast that in the moring u can be wearing ur winter stuff & by the time u go home u wished u had wore shorts & a t-shirt or visa-versa & the humidity can be so high that u think its raining....
i did a 47 3ton a few years back & made it into a flat bed. i ended up having a M/C adaptor because no one made one for it & was lucky enuff to have a guy swap me some car spindles for my truck ones, yepppppp car spindle will fit the trucks up 3ton & use the same king pins :3dSMILE: .. to make the adaptor all i did was took measurement off the back of the stock M/S & the new M/C & gave them to a friend at a machine shop. he made it 1/2inch thick & drilled & threaded all the holes for me worked great.....
Good luck.........
oo yea how far u from Clay Center???? cause thats where i got my bus from.........joe
