I'm swapping out my power steering rack for a manual one out of a 92 hatch, and I cant get the bitch pin out, I've tried every method mentioned on here, except for the impact gun, but thats because I'm doing this in my garage.... I have no clue how to get it out due to the fact that I have to have this car ready by tomorrow morning at 5, any suggestions? at all?

impact gun for the bitch pin? i don't see how that's going to fly at all. the only secret is getting lucky with the right sized punch. i was stuck getting mine out before too and i just got pissed at it and hit the crap out of it... it worked.

I bought a bitch pin punch from matco tools. They called it something else but it works every time and quickly at that.

I actually just finished getting it out and reassembling everything including the coilovers in the front, but not the rear yet, busted bolt head wont come out... but yea, I used a two inch long hex head bit, kinda like what that guy uses in his how to of removing it without using a hammer, but I did use a hammer and a vise grip to hold that bit, but its altogether now, and my only problem is I cant seem to get the tie rod ends any tighter than they are now, they still have like three to four rotations left til totally tight...

hey for future reference the perfect rool to take out the bitch pin is a craftsman 1/4 inch drive extention two hits of the hammer and its out!!!!
