I tried to buy a 8mm drift tool but could not find any at local shops. I also tried to use a 8mm bolt but the pin doesnt move and its hard to keep the bolt in one spot because of the threads. Is there any other way?

 

A punch will work. Harbor Freight has some cold steel punches that are really cheap (literally) but they are strong enough to get the job done.

Actually, I haven't broken one of them yet.... And I do beat the hell out of them.

 

which size punch? i used one today and bent the **** outta it. lol. guess i gotta get a stronger one.

 

5/16 or 8mm punch straight shaft punch. Use a mini sledge and give it a good wack.

I tried this technique but it's pretty fustrating. BFH and punch is the way to go!!

B series or D series ?

D series I do from the top. Long 3/8 extension with a 7/32 hex on the 3/8 drive. 5lbs hammer. I think the tranny goes in 2nd gear, ?

Feed the long extension down by the throttle body with the 7/32 hex bit on it, on to the top of the bitch pin. I think you figure out the rest.

 

I machined an adapter for my air chisel out of stressproof steel rod to knock out the "b_tch pin" works like a charm!

 

its on a d series. i managed to finally get that bitch out but it took forever. i used a straight punch. i was wondering y it was so hard to take out until i saw that it was a spring. thanks for the advice.

 

It's get's easier. Let's hope you don't find that out.

 

I just use one of those long bolts that come from the ac compressor, works perfect
