When I left off last time, I had the sleeves out, but the pistons were stuck in them and the shop press didn't work any magic. I took the angle grinder as someone suggested, put a seam down the side of the sleeve, and where the piston wasn't, cut all the way through. Then I took a chisel to the seam and she split open. Just enough to where the pistons tapped out easily.

I believe these pistons are the "fire-crater" brand from I/H. There are part numbers on the top, but I can't find the size. Does it mean "standard" when there is no size???

I decided to power wash the front wheel pedestal. Under all the dirt was a lot of original red paint. I was suprised to see how much dirt and gunk was held in the bolster area though. On a good note, the steering seemed not to have much slack and the front wheel bearings were tight and made no noise at all. I'm hoping those little u-joint connecters are still available.....those were shot!
