Well, since I last posted, I still have not been able to shift the bracket. I have had it soaking in WD40 and I know it has penetrated the joint. Despite relentless attack with a drift and a mash hammer the damned thing will not budge! The graphic that Cyber Jack posted seems to indicate that the bracket is a press fit but could it be something else. Looking ath the bracket from the end, there appears be some kind of insert between the bracket and the axle, does anyone know what the purpose of that is please?
