8mm non tapered punch, the one on my d series was seized, I just left the shift linkage attached when I pulled the motor, my b series came out with some encouragement from BFH

this dude i know removed his damn pin that holds the shifter and in 1st the 5th you can move it like its in neutral haha so dumb

 

are you talking about that c clip?

 

yea that little ****** is a bitch, just use a 12mm bolt, might be a 10mm but i am pretty sure it's a 12mm. it works perfectly every time

remember that bitch pin expands so if your putting something(like a punch that is tapered) it goes on the inside of the pin and expands it, youll never get it out.
use the 12mm, and hold the bolt with some needle nose pliers and whack that ****, works on first punch EVERYTIME

 

i use a punch and a hammer and it comes out everytime for me

 

bitch pin is #30 in the pic shown below, in case someone is guessing what the hell the bitch pin is

 

while we're on the subject...anybody know the part number for the pin? Or will a standard 8mm pin work?

part number is 94305-80222 costs about $1 at your local honda dealership

 

use the bolt off your ac bracket. works like a charm. or use a punch if you dont have it, i think its a 5/8.

ac bracket bolt &gt; all

 

Easiest way to deal with it is to take it off with the transmission when you pull the engine or tranny. No reason you can't do that. Just be careful not to bind and bend it when you're lifting the motor out of the bay.

 

a punch and a big hamer

 

lol never knew it was called the bitch pin. ive made up several other names for it tho. yea i used a punch and hammer. once or twice i left it on the tranny while i was taking it out. just removed the whole trans and then punched it out.

 

I use a air hammer with a special punch that goes down in the pin a litle bit, and .. works amazing when you just hit a button and it pops out.

 

AC compressor bolt. I invented that ****. Just get one from a junkyard, though....cuz you're going to ruin it.

 

Air hammer +

dont use a bolt.. yeah its easier but if honda wanted it to be easy to get out they would have made it easier to get out... using a bolt is going to slop your shifing up (i can tell some others may not) dont use a bolt seriously .. how often are you taking your trans/motor out of your car to use a bolt for "ease" of removal use whats suposed to be there

 

just have alot of patience and the right size punch. i remember a time I got so frustrated that i accidentally hit my own fingers with the hammer instead of the punch. ouch!

 

Punch + Hammer = Win

I don't understand why people have problems with this thing. . .

I've NEVER had a problem with this.

 

Me too, I've done numerous swaps etc.. never had a problem with a punch and hammer or pilers.
Guys stop being a wussy
if helms say do it, then do it!!!
and stop wasting internet bandwidth and space!!
nuff said!
sorry noobs, you have to tuffing up and work on cars thats driving in all weather and not parked under dealership umbrellas brand new with every nut and bolt hand tightned.

 

ok ive done atleast 50 swaps and the perfect size thing for a bitch pin is a 1/4" craftsmen extension. one good hit and its out... perfect size like no joke it fits like a honda oem tool!!!!

 

i think its because of the limited space underneath the car. Its hard to give the punch a good hit due to the space underneath
