tryed a punch but it did not work

 

Its called a bitch Pin.

Keep punching it will come out.

 

I use a skinny bolt that's the same size as the pin. Works great.

 

I use an air hammer with the roll pin punch adapter. The bitch pin comes out in less than a second and gets installed with the same ease.

 

snap-on has that tool

Had the same problem until I used an air hammer like described above.

 

I cant even find metric punches. I just work around it. Ive never taken it out on any motor Ive swapped. I hate it!

 

When I changed my clutch I used an allen-head socket of just the right size to push that thing out of there. It was still a PITA.

What does this roll pin punch adapter for an air hammer look like? I'll definitely look into that if I ever have to pull my tranny again or the engine.

 

If you dont have access to an air hammer with the right punch, or a 8mm roll pin punch, use the AC compressor bolt #19 in the pic, has worked great for me plenty of times. Its the bolt thats pointed on the end.

thats number #19 bolts works great...does wander takes about 3-4 wacks at it with a hammer and the pin comes out

 

I wanna know how you guys get enough leverage to hammer the pin out when underneath the car. I feel like Kill Bill volume 2 when shes in the grave. lol

Damn, I wish I would've thought of that!!! It would have saved me from having to borrow the one from my work, and making arrangements to get a ride to/from the place. It would've saved me two hours!! LOL

 

man screw that bolt **** im never doin that **** w/o a air hammer

 

the a/c bolt worked great thanks

 

about to do this on a civic.....*crosses fingers*

 

go to Harbor Freight and buy a 5/16 punch (cheap). Jack up the car with enough space to swing a big hammer. It'll come out. Using screws and allen wrenches makes it really hard to get the pin out. With the punch, you just need swing a couple times.
