Default Amazing what an air chisel with a round punch will do

I agree Tony an air chisel with a flat punch will get loose stuff that 20 ton press will not touch. I've gotten stuff apart this way by blocking the chisel body in place with just enough space to let the thing tap away, generally let it tap full preasure first to see if you get lucky. If not then I turn the air preassure down and just let it sit there and vibrate away. Reason for turning the air preasure down if you are just going to let it hammer is to keep the punch from heating up or spreading the body of pin out.

Obviously if you get any movement try switching directions of your attack.

With that much iron attached to the pins should make a nice noise.

Cheers Phil
