Stigian 1,234 #60 Posted March 30, 2008 Ive told you before about using the sledge hammer for knocking out roll pins :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #61 Posted March 30, 2008 Wes thats the biggest pain in the butt about working on Horses...rusted up stuck roll pins! I bought a set of true roll pin punches & have had much better luck getting them out now. Looks like your new part will hold up well too. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg B. 1 #62 Posted March 30, 2008 Nice looking piece, Wes. Much stronger than the cast original. Is that a toolpost grinder down there, on the lathe? That is, also, a nice arrangement. Greg B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catman81056 3 #63 Posted March 30, 2008 Something I found that helps taking roll pins out is drilling the hole in the pin alittle bigger. That gives the outer surface more room to collapse alittle. Works for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
