Default Alpha hinge pins

Does anyone have a good resource for changing hinge pins on a Gen 1 Alpha?

You can buy the tool from Merc (9/16" 12 point allen) or use a regular 9/16" allen wrench. You may need a little heat where they thread into the "bell" housing to break the loctite loose. Oh yeah, it's easier if the drive is still in place when you break them loose.

I would recomend you buy the tool. It is cheap and makes it lots easier. I have had to heat them slightly when I have done them in the past. Not too much heat though, aluminum can fool you and be getting way hotter than you think.
