Re: Please recommend a Hinge Pin Removal Tool I successfully used the EXPENSIVE one from Brattons on my 68C after trying the cheaper ones then making a few per various web sites. NOT the $35 one in Snyders but I can't find a Brattons right now. It was CAST with a screw in pin that pushed mine right out permitting a right side mirror on my 68C.

Re: Please recommend a Hinge Pin Removal Tool Removing pins ..... Hell, Mine keep working out all by themselves. Have to tap them back in every so often. Maybe one small advantage to having a daily driver.

Re: Please recommend a Hinge Pin Removal Tool I have one like the one pictured above that I bought from Snyder's. It has worked great for me and several others in our club.

This is an area that I can unequivocally state that we have some experience in! :D
None of the pullers (pushers) on the market that I know of work very well. Therefore the 3 things we most commonly use (-outside of profanity!! :eek:) is a liberal amount of penetrating oil first and then a punch on a 3X rivet gun to push it upward, - and if that fails to move it, then a drill. All we have found that happens with the commercially available pin removers is they 'spring'. Also understand that there is a point where the bottom of the soft pin 'mushrooms' due to the pressure and you are done anyway. Now here is the trick that generally works in conjunction with the punch. What happens is the pin wears and creates small offsets in the pin. Then the offsets hang coming out. Often times if you can get someone to lift the door at the edge to align the pin to go thru the hinges, then it will make progress. Sometimes you must actually rotate the pin to get it to move. Generally in this situation, use a small 12' long piece of flatbar with a hole in the end that will slip over the head of the pin. Then plug weld the pin's head to the flat bar so you have something to rotate the pin with. . |
Re: Please recommend a Hinge Pin Removal Tool :-) X-2 on rivet gun worked for me!

Re: Please recommend a Hinge Pin Removal Tool I just used the one from Snyder's had all the pins out on me door inside of 10 minutes

Re: Please recommend a Hinge Pin Removal Tool I usually heat them with my torch and quench them a couple of times and then punch them out without a problem.
|
Re: Please recommend a Hinge Pin Removal Tool Sure is great for the paint job, I specially like the torch idea.

Tried all of the others on "stuck" pins and bent them all, made this one and found that it works really well
