From what I have read people just fill it up with some silicone but I just can't make myself do that. I would rather just leave the shafts in place. I will mess with it a bit more see if I can get them out like @Achto said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last two I tried- first went in easily, second stopped about half way and I wasn't willing to really hit it hard enough to go further. I just cut it off and ground it down. Best bet is to cut the pin in half and drive the tapered end in flush. Edited 3 minutes ago by kpinnc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
