Cannot remove shock rod end

I've hit it with the torch, tried some nylon soft Jaws first, and even ordered some real shock shaft clamp blocks.

Tried putting it in a Kurt vise for some more force, but I just can't clamp the shaft tight enough. It just spins in the Jaws.

Anyone have any tips on removing a shock rod end? I cannot get this one to budge.

 

More heat.

Clean the shaft and the jaws with brake cleaner. Might have some residual oil.

 

MORE HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well shit...

I had cleaned everything real good, heated it up to smoking pretty good!

Anyways, I got it. What a pain. MoAr heat and more clamp pressure!

 

These shock shaft Jaws are from kartek and appear to have a nit line down the root of the shaft cutouts... A little disappointed in the finish

 

Are you trying to preserve the shafts or replacing them? I was rebuilding my Icons and had the same issue. Wrapped my shafts with emery cloth and kept them from spinning in the vise jaws that way. Threw on new shafts and they’ve been fine.

 

Same issue here; bumping old thread.

How hot did you have to heat it?
