Wrestling match

I decided to adjust my front wheels track to match the rears on my WD45. What a wrestling match. Totally seized together. I had to remove both tie rods and the gear box arm as unit. The gear box arm forward bolt will not clear unless you turn the wheel full right and jack up the left axle about 4 or 5 inches. Took the tie rods off the gear box arm. Put the tie rods in a vice one at a time. Lit the ole smoke wrench and heated the outer half of the rod red hot and begin rotating the inner half of the rod back and forth and pulling out on the rod at the same time. Eventually the smoke wrench won on both rods. Polished up the exterior of the inner rods and soaked the interior of the outer rods with diesel fuel. I loaded up the outer rods interior with a mix of antiseize and STP and the inner rods slid in like new. The axles were free in their housings but I did dose them up ATF/acteone juice just to make me feel better. The next project is new brake linings; I hope it won't turn into a horror story.

You're tackling the two hardest jobs on the tractor.   At least you got the first one done.   I would soak the pins for awhile before you try doing the brakes over a few weeks and it might help you in the long run.   It won't hurt anything.
