Cut the pin flush and drill a 7/16 inch hole in the center as deep as you can. Then drive it out with a drift pin in the hole. PB Blaster or Kroil works well Good luck ,Paul

Soak it in Coca Cola! When you see how it works you will never drink it again. No joke

Coke Cola I seen the guys from the gas company pour it on the gas valves in the ground to loosen. If you use the flame wrench (Torch) The hand held Map gas torch work good, they take a little while longer to heat the case but they are much more forgiving than the big flame wrench (oxg/acl). With the big torch its very easy to go into case melt down.

Well, thanks for all the input lads!!
I managed to get the bastard pin out!! :drink:

She was deffinately in there pretty good and tight, I ruined both thread ends, used a butane torch, a big pipe wrench and a mallet to it to get it to budge. Once it moved a tiny bit, I filed back and then sanded smooth one end of the pin and laid waste to it with a hammer to get it to pop out the rest of the way.

Looks like there was some loctite on the shaft, along with a shed load of corrosion and the gearcase had been painted with the pin in!

Now, what kind of paint do I use to respray? I have some anti corrosive etch primer and some corrosion preventive gloss block enamel. Will that do the trick?

Thanks again all. Great suggestions and it worked!!!
