Should all else fail........
Cut the outrigger tube, 3 or 4 inches from the bronze bush! This will allow transportation immidiately, and also give access to the centre part of the pin to enable you to attack the rust. A good method is to heat the pin to red heat and immideately cool it with a hose pipe. This will make the rust flake and fall off. The outrigger bits can be tack-welded back on in situ after levelling everything, with the final welding and grinding being done in the workshop.
