Thread: Railko Pin

I did mine in my series one a couple of weeks ago. I drilled down through the pin with a 13mm bit to weaken it, then heated the holder the pin sits in, dropped a high tensile bolt in the hole (holden head bolt 7/16") and beat the crap out if it. About 10 smacks each and they were out (4Lb sledge hammer). I used a Disco rear pinion flange to hold it, the old type for the rubber donut driveshaft that people throw away, up one way it holds it perfectly square for the drill press and up the other way for holding it for smacking out the pin. It took me about 15 mins a side to do. When you replace the pin, heat the holder up and push the pin in quickley. They are a shrink fit and you only have one chance, they grab within 1-2 seconds of pushing the two parts together.
