Default Cross Tube Problems

Arie,

Sometimes you just need to beat something into submission. These photos are meant to inspire. My cross tube was welded to the brackets. As much as I tried I could not cut the parts free. I finally ended up cutting through into three pcs. I repaired all three parts buy building up damage and machining back. I also bored all three parts for an interference fit on a sleeve. After sleeving all three parts back together I plug and butt welded. Good luck pulling your tube out. I hope you don't need to resort to such extreme measures.
