I got the pin out of the front of the radius rod! A combination of Liquid Wrench, a big crescent-rubber hammer combo, a bigger hammer, a propane torch to heat the axle, PB-Blaster, tightening a new nut down to the max and letting all those chemicals do their work. I turned the original nut into something that looks like a mushroom, but didn't hurt the threads on the pin. Dropped the radius rod off to have it straightened from what looks like a combination banana-boomerang. Hope to get it back tomorrow.I never had to jack it up under the bolt to smack it from above, but I did everythingelse you guys recommended. Thanks.
