SP450andLE Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm trying to de-egnine my Mini, but I cant remove the pin(s) from the gear selector, which I need to do to get the engine out. Any ideas on how to remove them? Photos: And here's the pin when removed: (from the other Mini I used to have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP450andLE Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 I've been whacking it with a hammer and anything I can find that fits in - it hasn't worked so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 pin punch of a very similar size to the outer diameter of the roll pin. you've gott hit them with good solid blows with a good sized hammer. light hammers just bounce off them. a nice heavy punch helps too. was one of the only things that used to break my balls when i had minis. can be such a pain in the arse til you get used to them.

CaMpylobacter Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 can get sets from superfail or rapeco or bnt or bunnings or something for less than $20 usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
