Cross Tube Problem
Arie,
Another problem I had was somewhere on the edge of one side of the shaft it had been damaged. It wasn't enough to visually notice but it made it near impossible to slide the assembles off the end. In the end I did what Michael R. did. I used jacks including a hydraulic porta-power to force the assemblies past and off the bad part of the shaft end. Later when I had the end in a lathe I cleaned up the bad area. Hope this helped. P.S. Sorry about the picture orientation. It was fighting me just like it did when I was trying to get it off, but you get the idea. Stephen '44 MKII

Cross tubes probably one of the worst glum jobs on a carrier restoration.
