bitch pin still wont come out
i;ve done everything that i've heard of short of drilling it out does anyone have anymore ideas on how to remove it please

 

I'm guessing here - are you talking about the pin in the shift-linkage? If so, my experience is that you need a 1/4" punch and then just go crazy with a hammer, and it will come out. If you have to, jack up the car higher so you can swing more.

 

Where in richmond do you live? If you need some help, let me know. I live in Mechanicsville.

How high do you have the car jacked up? The more room, the better. I'll be around this weekend if you need hep.

Yeppers, just take the shift linkage out WITH the transmission and then you will have room to really swing a BFH at it. As stated before you MUST support the shaft with a socket or something so you don't bend it or crack the transmission case around it. Also, I've never seen a frozen part that a good pneumatic chatter gun couldn't break loose.

 

use a air hammer in low settings... it will come right out

 

1/4" drift pin (flat tip), 3-lb sledge turned sideways, it ALWAYS comes out.

 

drift pin ? i dont have a compressor or those tools to do that ( the air tools)

I think I paid $20 for a pin/punch/chisel set from Sears - Craftsman. It will have a flat tipped pin with straight sides (a drift pin) the correct diameter in it - go buy the correct tools for the job.

 

DROP THE TRANS WITH THE LINKAGES ATTATCHED!!!! before i have to come down there and do it for you.

 

take a spare bolt with a 12mm head on it. Grind the end of it so it's slightly tapered so it can center itself in the roll pin. Bash it with a hammer. It always works. It takes about 6 good hits and it's out. If it takes more than that, swing harder.

 

well good news
i found out that the damned thing was WELDED in at the top so i have to drill it out but thanks for your help guys
