what i've found to work the best is a slide hammer. just finished pulling out my second set of pins, last year did the WD now the WD-45. we welded a nut on the pin, then welded a pipe on the nut, then put another nut on the end for the slide hammer. used the fire wrench a little bit to help em come, but i highly recommend doing it this way.

Great set of pictures, Carl - there's hope for those of us who have yet to try this! Looks as though rotating the bull gear case 90* is part of the recipe - yes? How heavy is that slide hammer? ------------- WC, CA, D14, WD45 |

| yes, first time i did it, i pulled the pan, took out the bolts and twisted it 90* and ran a smaller bolt with washers and a nut. makes things much easier. the hammer is 5 pounds. we also had someone pulling on the end while another used the hammer. works pretty good |

| I'm thinking that the heating and cooling after welding on the end of the pin can't be a bad thing either. Might tend to loosen it a bit? |

Thanks, Carl. I think Brian's point is right on. Definitely worth trying. ------------- WC, CA, D14, WD45 |
