I know some of you gusy have been lucky and sopposedly it came out easy, but6i have been hammering for 2 freakin hours nwo and it hasnt moved one bit. Im either gonna cut my linkage or........drill the little bitch out.

Unless someone has a better helpfull idea for me???

 

Did one the other day, totally rusted in. Got it out in 5 minutes and all we had was a phillips screw driver and a sledge. Don't be a bitch, get mad, get off ur damn computer and go hammer the ******* thing out.

 

I take it you are laying on your back in the driveway?
Use some jackstands,get it high enough in the air that you can get a good swing
with the hammer...Soak it in penetrating oil like P-B blaster.. Use the largest punch that will fit in the hole..Using too small of a punch will only cause the pin to expand..If all else fails,get a bigger hammer.

 

They don't call it "the BITCH PIN" for no reason...

yeah get a good swing going.... huge punch so it does not expand...PB blaster is your friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The car is on jack stands , but i ahev the tranny restinbg on the ground in the engine bay and im hammering down on it.....still wont come out.

 

Unbolt it at the shifter and drag it out in the open so you can really beat the crap out of it..

 

yeah u can unbolt the linkage at the other end then pull whatever your doing..


get an air chisel and make a bit for it. best thing i have ever made. dont **** around with a hammer.

 

dude, use an 8mm pin punch. should pop right out. gotta use the right tools for the job.

 

if your too cheap to buy a 8mm punch, use a 10mm bolt, the shaft is 8mm.

 

Stop being cheap and go buy a pin punch Go to sears and buy one from Craftsman.

 

i'm not sure the proper width, but i have a 3 foot bar, (it acctually a drill bit with an extension) i hit it upside down, but its perfect for this, go from the top, and WHAIL it, pop out in 2 seconds

 

what i did was i got a gear puller and put my cresent wrench above to hook on the gear puller and just used the screw on the puller to push it out. i got it out but i also broke the gear puller center bolt on the bitch pin. i tried the punch thing and it didnt work for me

After 40 minutes of banging on it with a phillips head and hammer, We went to Pep Boys bought an 8 MM punch, 5 minutes later .......voila. LOL
Spend the $ 2-3 believe me it's worth way more than that. LOL
HTH
PS Load on some Permatex "Never-Sieze" before you put back in.

 

Use can also use a 5/16" punch if you dont have a 8mm Metric Punch.
