Hi, Im having trouble disconnect gear shift rod from the gear box. Apparently there's a pin which locks the rod to the gear box, how do i get the pin out? Can anyone help me with it, thanks )

plus make shore u take otu the sencond pic nto the first one the one nearest ot the gearbox :wink:

you need a 3/16" punch and a hammer. also put the car into reverse, this lets the pin come out without hitting the gearbox.

Any ideas on how to remove it if you have spent 4 hours hitting it, 3 drill bits broken, heated and oiled to death?

[Ollie180]

if you cant hit it out hit it harder lol

what if you was to drill it out? would that work

[Jackman]

That broke another drill No drills left now, dads going to kill me.

[Ollie180]

are u hitting it with a punch??? or a drill bit ?????

[Jackman]

Have been using both to no avail.

Its worth adding that there is a split along the side of the roll pin, so if you were to try and use a punch that as too small, or a nail, it would just push the sides of the roll pin outwards, thus causing it to clamp on the sides of the collar.

Its the same one i used on another engine to remove the split pin... Ive really come to my wits end with the bloody pin, neither of them will come out, not sure if previous owner has jammed them in.

The last time I was at my local motor store they had this stuff for removing stuck bolts and stuff. Instead of heating it up it freezes the part, causing it to contract which should free it up enough to remove it. I'll try and find out what its called?

Either way i cant get any lol, no transport :S Ill keep at it tomorrow, if still no joy ill remove the engine with that in place. Got painting to do anyway.
