[SEL] Gib Key removal

[Richard Strobel]

  Yea, me again :-(

Well we have a 5/8 x 3" Gib that is having fun with us.  A huge slide hammer 
hasn't budged it, nor has a tapered punch.  I would think that the slide 
hammer would extert a humungus force on the key but there's where the 
mystery for me starts.  So is it time to drill, tap, and use a bottle jack 
puller like Ron Haskell did or use the welder and weld on a stud?  Or should 
we just blow out the key with a gas axe?

Havin' a ball in Mt. with the ole iron,
