I had to do the same job today.

This has been on a car since 1970 which was used daily up until 1995 and is being reccomissioned so well worth looking at.

   

Cleaned and ready for crack test...

   

After testing.

   

I did a some rods as well, one was cracked...

   

I also tested all these arms, only one was cracked and this was around the shank base not on the inner radius as in Ian’s above.

   

I did manage to snap it using a 4’ tube, the arm bent first and the with an almighty heave let go slowly.
