If you let it soak after heating the teflon bushing in the hydraulic piston eye cools back down and melts to the to the hydraulic pin adding more friction. I'd hit it hot. My experience was with this after only using a coleman propane torch that I use to heat, heat shrink for wiring. And your using map gas. After hours of beating that teflon peice out, it was good on the outside, melted on the inside. With all the hours your planning on putting into this, it may be easier/cheaper to buy a rebuilt one and paint it.

Me and wildman got the pin out of mine with heat and pb blaster as a cooling medium for the pin, heating spraying the pin only the pin with pb, and using a drift pin to bash it out.

Boy,
This is a challenge indeed.
