Leveling Arm Removal

[Tupperville]

I have to remove the hardware from lower lift arm however it seems like it is pressed in.

The nut comes off the back but it won't move even with a few light taps with a ball-peen hammer.

Probably just rusted in. Put the nut back on to protect the threads and hit a little harder with a hammer.

Before you put the nut back on flush with the bolt and smite it, hold a heavy block of steel tight against the backside of the flat lift arm to minimize force being absorbed and lost to the free play.
