how in the hell do you get the roll pin out of the shift linkage


thanks in advance

 

One right sized punch, one hammer. Should take just a few taps.

 

what size punch i have a ls tranny?

i can't found the right tool

 

the size that goes over the pin but can go through the hole as well... i don't know which size off the top of my head, but if you buy a set you'll have them all.

punch hammer done.

 

get a 12mm bolt and take a dremel tool and chamfer the end so that there is a little nipple that fits inside the pin, and then a flat surface on the rest of the bolt in which to drive it out.

works every time.

 

1/4" punch will work. Easy

 

8mm roll pin

if your doing a swap just yank the whole shift linkage out with the tranny and then beat on it its a lot easier to get it out when its out of the car. just go inside the car and unbolt the shifter.

 

i dont know the exaxt size...but there are 3 sizes of sockets....get the t-handle for the smallest one...works like a charm

 

so is the pin in the first joint coming form the shifter

 

help

 

the pin is under the rubber boot, you can't miss it.
as mentioned earlier an 8mm punch works well. or if you have air tools, an air hammer with a tapered punch also works well.

go to sears. get a 5/16th roll pin punch. it has a nib on the end of the punch that will center it on the roll pin. don't get a taper punch. it'll just get stuck, and probably take longer. the 1/4 roll pin punch will work as well. just make sure it has the nub on the end. i got my pin out in 30 seconds with a 5/16th roll pin punch and a ball peen hammer. nuf said. if everyone used the proper tool, the bitch pin wouldn't be a bitch to get out.

 

I have never had a problem with that at all. to get it out or put it in.

Yall must be noobs or something.

 

i got my roll pin out with a hex screw driver set

Yup, same here

 

I use a tappered 8mm punch. 3 taps and it's out. Doesn't cause it to expand in there(and if it does it doesn't seems to cause any problems) And to put it back in I use a pair of tiny vise grips and tap it back into place.

 

where do i find the plastic peice that is on top of the pin?

I have found that the bolts that hold the AC Bracket to the car work miracles.
