Broken tie rod to diff lock..............

[fatheroftwo]

The small rod on the tie rod assy is broken, Getting the old pieces off is a nightmare so far. My next step is removing the
arm attached to the diff shaft as the tie rod has become one with it. The (arm) lever seems to be attached to the diff shaft with
an unthreaded pin that is driven down into a circular slot. The pin will not move with adequate hammering (upwards). Is this a "get a bigger
hammer" situation? # 19 in this image

If it was me, I'd soak it in penetrating oil for a couple days and try again. Is there a hole on the bottom end to be able to use a punch? Is the pin tapered? It looks like it could be. If still no luck, I'd drill and tap it for a small screw, get a pair of vise grips on the screw, and hammer the vise grips upward. Worse case scenario, you could always drill it out, just be really careful if that hole is tapered for the pin.

Trying to beat it upwards, there is a hole underneath. It is soaking now.
Will try again tomorrow, just wanted to make sure I am barking up the right
tree.

Beating has brought me no joy, I do admit there is not a lot of room to swing that hammer boy. I hope this is the proper procedure. Gotta get a longer punch.

If it's that seized in there then my drill and tap method definitely wouldn't work. Do you have a palm nailer? Since there's not much room to swing, get your palm nailer and a punch and let her eat. Then again, they're not crazy powerful, but repeated hammering that doesn't require busted knuckles or swearing is worth a shot.

Since I appear to be on the right track, I'll beat on it a bit more, Spraying it some more with "Strike Hold", I may need to get some
liquid wrench next time I'm in town.

It is rusted in as well, have to take it out and grind it off, or press it out.
