Hi Rick,
Chris and Kent really covered all the bases on this one. The only thing I
have to add is to use either a brass mallet when driving out the cotter pin
or use a piece of soft metal between your steel hammer and the pin. If you
don't have a brass drift, you can use discardable old key as a buffer. My
second tip is patience. Use some pentrating oil if the parts are stubborn
and give it time to work. Failing that, buy rebuilt ones.
