OK, I've been out in the garage wacking away at this press-fit pin with a punch and hammer. It's not budging!! GRRR!! :mad:
I'm afraid that I'll crack the casting.
WD40 has been sprayed on it and still no movement of the pin after about 30 wacks. Do I dare put any heat/torch flame on the casting hoping that it might expand enough to get that pin to free itself from the casting? I'm in trouble if I break that casting!! It's not like I can go out and get another one. Anyone have thoughts on removing 62 year old press-fit pins in cast iron sucessfully? Do I resort to drilling it out? Wouldn't that be safer than risking the breakage of the cast iron part?
