CO-AX press questions

[308warbird]

Found an older Bonanza CO-AX online for a good price and purchased it. It needs new guide rods and a few small parts. I have began to disassemble the press and can't get the yoke off nor the wear plate and guide rods. The guide rods are rusted. I have soaked everything in Kroil and everything moves now. I can't remove the roll pins that hold the yoke pivot pins...

Anyone here every changed a yoke or otherwise disassembled a Co-ax? Any and all suggestions appreciated...Thanks.

Thanks, they are at top of my list to call in the morning. I got the yoke off finally, and the wife told me to quit pounding on the guide rods with a ball peen hammer. Something about sleep was mentioned....
