Mounting bolt is soaking in PB. What is the best way to get the break linkage off the hub splines?

Just slacken the pinch bolts and lever the arms off with a couple of screwdrivers.

A small gas torch is helpful for stubborn nuts and bolts, thinks like engine mounts I found react favourably to a bit of heat. Just be careful of rubber and wiring etc when heating things

Brake cable is off. Engine bolt has gone through 3 rounds of pb blaster, and a propane torch. I have the nut off but the bolt is frozen. Air impact wrench wont even budge it. Guess I will add more pb blaster and let it soak a few more days. Tonight I will attempt to remove the old tires as I bought the set Kevin offered and the should be here tomorrow :)
