well am close to getting my swap done, bought hasport linkage for swap, trying to take off old linkage. the problem am having is that the pin wont come out from the linkage to remove it from the tranny. Looked to be as if there was lock-tite, but I heated it and tried to push the pin out, nothing happened. What else can I do for this problem???


thanks,

jer

This is how I took care of mine:



$5 hacksaw, and FYI, its called the Bitch Pin:

Get a punch and a hammer and do your best. It's called the bitch pin for a reason.

 

go to a junkyard and get a long *** 12mm AC compressor bolt from a 88-00 civic of your choice. The AC compressor bolt is the perfect size for the bitch pin bore. It's also long enough that you can beat the crap out of the bolt with a hammer without hurting your hand too much if you miss. It also has a taper on the end of it..making it fit nice and snugly onto the bitch pin. I say go to the junkyard, because you will destroy the 12mm bolt.

You will have to knock the **** out of it.

I've also rigged up some crazy ghetto press with a C clamp, a short tapered 12mm bolt, and a socket on the other side. It worked great. Try that first.

 

or you could go to sears, get the proper sized punch with the little nipple on it, and hit it 2 or 3 times with a sledge hammer like i do......

or you could do that other insanity mentioned..

Insanity?!! More like Ingenuity!

Punches are expensive. Especially the ones I give to your face.

The C clamp press thing really works great. No violence needed. Usually, I'm all for violence, but you dont have much room to swing a hammer when you're underneath the car. Plus, when you smash your hand, it's no longer fun and games. It's serious bidness. Serious bidness is no fun.

 

If you have a friend with air tools and a portable compressor and impact hammer will do the trick in about a few seconds if not the buy a punch set and have at it with a hammer.

 

i used a long ac bolt too.

 

get a punch

 

you punch my face, i'll donkey punch your mom, seems like a good deal.

paid no more then five bucks for my punch...if that's expensive then...

 

i have my own tool! i had an old screw driver sitting around that was so old that it was actually made of the hard *** steel and had the old see through handle. i just grinded the tip flat and have been using it for years..

 

x2 on grinding the end of screwdriver off. I had a broken one laying around so i made use. It worked great.

 

I do these all the time at my work, what I have is a 6 inch 1/4 extension from sears. I hold the bottom with a pair of vice grips and knock it out in about 4-5 hits. I have the proper size punch but I like the extension better.

 

make kung-fu noises to intimidate the pin. WAAAAHHHHH!!! Works every time.

 

Ive always done it with the a/c compressor bolt, but after removing the a/c i didnt have the damn bolt anymore so I used a little screw driver that can hold a 1/4 socket and bashed that **** 3-4 times and pop went out. Putting it in hurts more when you miss.....

lol you can tape a 50 cal on the bitch pin now and then BAMMMmmMMmMMM jp jp

 

well the 12mm bolt is bnot working for me, called hasport and they said to do the same thing. man this is the last thing that I have to get out for my swap, then its drive time. wonder what else works!!!!

jericho

 

3lb hammer is all you need. you can use anything mentiones above, ac bolt, punch, screwdriver bit...u just need a hammer with a strong enough weight.

 

50 cal firing pin.

 

My advice is to not hit like a girl.
