JayGee Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hi All, I have a stubborn roll pin which I'm having trouble removing. Im cautious of tapping it hard with a hammer because i dont want to bend the linkage shafts. It's difficult to support the shaft while striking (photo attached of pin position). I keep spraying it with penetrating oil and leaving it - plan on attacking again soon. Does anyone use and recommend a tool like this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smobaby Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) That tool is the ants pants, bit expensive for a one off ( or maybe not if you damage the linkage ) if you can support behind the linkage with a substantial block and use the correct size pin punch it will come out you will need to hit it with direct force don’t pussyfoot stainless and aluminium corrode together you need to overcome this. Roll pins can be difficult at times. Heat the aluminium coupling with a heat gun this will help. Edited July 20, 2020 by Smobaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
