Hi Guys,
Thanks for the responses. Sorry, I should have mentioned, I removed the three bolts on the brake disk side, plus the brake calliper, the single bolt on the other side as well as the long through bolt that fits from stub axle to stub axle. Still no movement. This aircraft spent a lot of time in a very wet area of Wales.
Thanks once again for all advice.
Glenn Perry

Hi Glen,
There must be several mono swinging arms (main wheel forks) around, because several owners including me have converted to tri-gear. Mine is probably in a scrapyard because I left it with Nev Eyre and he no longer occupies his former workshop.
I know someone else who got his conversion done by Nev at Nev's house, but I've no idea what happened to that swinging arm either.
It shouldn't take too long to get an offer, if you put out an SOS on Matronics and a few other websites such as AFORS.
Or you could even ask Nev direct, because he's probably converted several.

Sorry Glenn,
Seems you will need a lot of patience and WD-40.
Pete

While I hesitate to recommend in this application, when messing around with old motorbikes, I've had success with heat cycling the components (talking about a blowlamp - I think the thermal expansion crushes the corrosion between the components into dust/breaks the bond?) and if it were a bike wheel, I'd try a very long bolt/rod fed through from the opposite side at a bit of an angle followed by lots of hammer tapping (easier to push something out than pull?). Obviously there are also many proprietary dismantling fluids, though I've had less success there (too impatient no doubt). Hope that helps.
