Re:How do you remove the bitch pin?

Re:How do you remove the bitch pin?

I used a piece of metal wire from a lawn sign I had from the landscapers. It was the exact width 8mm or something. But you could buy the punch for like 8-12 bucks from a tool store, which I ended up doing...

i think it was julio or renr that had a screwdriver with the same diameter. He cut off the head and it worked fine.

Roll Pin punch works perfect everything.. Considering a ROLL PIN is whats holding the linkage in

I know Jeff. I said it comes out easy with a roll pin punch, but I don't have one and also couldn't find one to buy. I know snap on has them. I went out to buy one yesterday and they didn't have them at any of these places-sears, harbor freight, tractor supply, pep boys, autozone, and advance auto. So now I should ask where to buy a roll pin punch besides snap on, matco, mac. I got that ****** out anyway so I guess I don't really need one but it would be nice to know where I can get one if I do decide to buy one. I actually used an alignment stud for installing the control head on a mercedes power steering rack. It worked pretty good.
