Ok, I messed with it, cant get the roll pin to even budge, the local shop w=
ant about $200 to do it.
My last though was to drill out the pin and replace with a bolt. Think I'll=
screw anything up?
I wouldn't count too highly on drilling out a hardened steel roll pin.
First, they're REALLY hard. Second, it'll be even harder to get a drill in
there than a hammer/punch, and then you have to push on the drill with some
force. I can't believe they want 200 bucks to do it. It takes me an
average of about 10 minutes to do them, some in 5, some in 15, but I've
NEVER seen one so tight I couldn't get it out fairly quickly. It might help
to use a punch with the last inch turned down to fit the inside of the pin,
then using the heaviest hammer you can get in there and still get a good
swing. It's also possible to get in from the wheelwell with a long rod. If
you had one with a socket on the end, it would keep it on the drift (punch),
making the job a bit less frustrating. Good luck, John
