Well I managed to pull the shoulders off of the end of the pin... now what?? The pin would move just a bit but very hard. So.. I torched a slot in the pin from the hole in the bottom of the housing and put a pry bar on it.. Little more heat and PB Blaster and I got it to come out far enough to get a vice grips on. its out now.. Whats the worst you have had to do? LOL!!

Did you take pictures? Sounds like a good approach as I visualize what you are describing. I expect to be removing the brake pins on my WD45 soon - not sure I want to read TOO many horror stories!!

I did what you did but couldn't pry it out, so I hammered the broken end inward until it hit the inside part of the pin, torched off another section, and repeated. The inside piece on each side came out really easy.

Here's my last two storys about removing brake pins. The last brake pins I removed came right out. I removed the two 3/8" bolts and pulled the two pins right out like they had been old yesterday. LOL
Now the set before it was a cutting out in the housing pain in the well you know what!
They can go both ways, Good luck on the other side.

Well I won't go into details of my Nightmare. I used a torch and cut it in the middle. Then drove it in and cut again. I also cut the bottom of the shoes off to get that mess out of my way. Use Antisieze when you reinstall.

my worst was helping a buddy do on his. We were cutting and pounding away and I had a BFH with a short handle and a punch the almost the size of the pin. Well, working on a hot night, uncomfortable position and getting pissed by the minute and the "one more hit before I quit" and layed 2 fingers open the was between the housing and the BFH. Had to set down for a while with hand in ice water feeling woozy. The ironic thing is I now own this tractor with the new brakes and brake drums :) with a story to go with it.

Had to take a die grinder to one of mine. Suffice it to say it took a while ...
Ditto to what SteveAllisWD50 said about anti-seize.

I am not to complain about the past ordeal on a 45 or the 45 I have yet to do since it looks like less fun on my D14

Actually, other than taking the final drive and axle off, a D14 isn't that bad. Did mine several years ago, had it done in a 3-4 hours. That included replacing the rear end oil seals too.
However, I have had to torch a set of pins and shoes out of a WD45. Cut tthe bottom of the shoes to get them out, then cut the pin in half and drive inward.

I got my second pin out yesterday, the first one came right out. but the second one .I hit it in as far as i could with a big hammer and still got on it with a vise grip rocking it back and forth with a lot of wd40 sprayed on it. and finely came out.

Machined a puller to hook onto the end of the anchor pin and used two fine thread bolts to pull with, pin came right out.
