Re: Helpful Tips: Removing Perch Bolts From The Front Axle, Model A
We recently removed the perch bolts from my grandson's 1930 Tudor. We had to heat the perch nut until it glowed, we quenched it with a wet rag and were then able to remove it with an impact wrench. Once the nut was off the perch was easily removed.
The axle was bent into a gentle smile. We took the axle to a shop that has a 200 ton press and bent it back into shape. The shop has a set of pins we inserted into the four holes in the axle and then checked the straightness with a long straight piece of steel.
