Hi,
Sure I saw a home made tool for split pin removal, on a post.
The tool is for use for a G clamp I think.
Anyone has the link please.
Thanks

Made this one a few years ago from (IIRC) 25mm SHS.

Yep, made up something very similar just a couple of weeks back myself. :)

I used to just use a pair of over centre pliers and tapped them on with a hammer to unload the split pin.

Good stuff.
Found some thick walled water pipe, so will make up something simular.
Thanks

Shockies out.
Are the original ones single or double oil dampened.
3 seen to push together with little effort. But quite a bit of effort to pull apart.
One in and out with out much effort.
What have you used for replacements of the original type.
Thanks
