i got mine off by utilising the grease nipple method except i used a high psi grease pump and literally forced the grease in until it came out of either end, then with the hull jacked up rocked the bogey assembly until it began to move..... if you can get the front steel collar out you have pretty much cracked it as it is this i found that rusts onto the stub.
obviously it is a million times easier to do this job when the tube is in the hull.... you dont have this luxury... i would adopt Kevins approach and let the weight of the bogey do the work for you, if you are short of Pen oil i would fill it with diesel or AT fluid both have fantastic penetrating propertys

Re your P.M.
Universal carriers have front springs and rear springs. Front outers; 10 1/2 coils, 10.22 to 10.42" long. TL332 Front inners; 13 1/4 coils, 9.09 to 9.19" long TL331 Rear outers; 9 3/4 coils, 9.4 to 9.6" long TL126 Rear inners are the same as front inners. The part numbers are often stamped at the ends of the spring. Alistair I have some (as previously mentioned) longer lighter outer springs that I thought were Loyd springs. I have also taken longer, lighter inners from U.C. suspensions. I am keen to have you list the specs of the Loyd springs eg TL 1386 which is probably a Loyd part.
