Haven't got my haynes at mo' as its being lent out so cant look up, having trouble removing one of the pins either the one you see in the picture or the other one near the bottom of same round casing.



Got a drive pin punch set already but neither one of these pins are budging, am I missing something simple here to get these out?

Any tips aswell as swearing at it aint helping much

Having the same problem, I await to see what the gurus have to say.

They should just knock out.

Select reverse and give it a good whack. If your drift isn't the correct size try the flat end of a drill bit, about 5mm I think.

It helps if you use a piece of wood or something to keep the rod fixed whilst you're going at it with the roll pin punch. It looks like you've got it set about right (gearbox in reverse?).

Yeah was told select reverse so the pin shows more

So am I right, just hit it and drive it through, its being stubborn big time!

Yes, just use the fbh tool.

[taffy1967]

Yes, but using something to keep the rod steady helps. Otherwise it just bounces and you don't get enough force on the roll pin.

I made a punch that was perfect from a good quality tent peg by cutting the point off it. Works a treat.

Your just going to have to keep trying, it will come out!

I purchased the punch tool from minispares in the end.

[Kam]

Yes, just use the fbh tool.

Sorry mate whats fbh? Is this the minispares punch tool?, because the drive pin set I have is the right size, I just didnt know if I was doing something wrong.

Dont be scared to give it a good wack .

The one to remove is the one nearest the box, as its more accessable and more sterdy that end.
