Pics are up. Yes that is a Schwartz. We always did the heat and beat. You may be able to find another Schwartz cheap, neighbor sold one set on 30's for $300.

Drive wedges of some type into the splits to help open up. Lots of squirrel pee or hagen's brew. Then start trying to rock the outside leg with a loner bar into the adjustment holes. The steering arms may need to be taken off and put in a press. You'll get them but there will be lot of tools laying around the job before you are done.

Put the wheel back on and let it down, then gently drive against a tree to rotate the axle in the tube. A chain at bottom of the spindle and a skid loader might get it also. J
