That is just the typical setup same as a later 8ba engine.

Ok it´s the keepers that is fighting you.
Tap the "sleeve" so it let´s go of the keepers.

I just picked up 2 f-2 if u need parts give a pm.I also have running 6 cyl in St Louis ,new radiator, muffler starter, generator ete.

Tapping the sleve does nothing, i cut one off with a dremel and it was crimped at the bottom, i assume thats not normal. If neccessary i will do that to remove all of them.

You wouldnt happen to have a bed, subframe and frame mounts?

i removed 2 more valves and the sleeves were hand crimped on and are oblong this isnt normal is it?

[JSeery]

No, it is not. I often just cut the valve and spring assemble to get them out. If you are not going to be reusing any of the parts (which I don't) there is not much reason to spend the effort to remove them the normal way.

[FirstGenF2]

Ok, yeah I'm going to have to do that for all the valves if they are all crimped like this.

I pulled the engine so that I could strip it better, how do you remove the fly wheel to put it on a stand?

Unbolt and tap gently from backside until it lets go.

[FirstGenF2]

Ok, I've got the engine out and disassembled less the valves, front axle removed and just got a sandblaster to clean the frame and prep for paint. Removing the rear axle is giving me a bit of trouble, but it shouldn't be too difficult to remove the pins. Would it possibly be easier to flip the frame to pound the front spring pins?

[FirstGenF2]

so I'm on summer break now and have spent the last couple days cleaning and painting the frame. Any tips for removing the rear spring mounting pins?

[Ross F-1]

Do you have the bed off? On F-1's at least there is no access to the front pins on the rear springs from the inside of the frame, there is a brace right in front of them. So make a puller by re-threading a bolt to 1/8-NPT so it will screw into the hole for the zerk fittings. See below. Use sockets that will clear the pin as it is drawn out.

[FirstGenF2]

Its a bare frame with only the rear spring mounted, and its the front pins im having trouble with. Ok that makes sense il get thread rod and try that
