Appreciate the encouragement, folks, Lascaux, LouB, and 3speedslow. Sheesh, it's kind of a sad, neglected looking tart, though. Maybe if I'm real careful I can get those cotters out without mashing them to a pulp.
I've got a cotter press by BikeSmithDesign. Used it a few times with generally good success, but I did wreck one cotter with it. Sure beats violent hammer thrashing!
