Best way to remove the BITCH PIN?

[SINISTR]

likewise - got it out using a 8mm pin punch... no drilling or cutting or grinding

[Bludger]

Yes ffs.
Get a FLAT HEADED 8mm punch. Use a medium or heavy hammer , a few whacks or heaps of light taps will see it shoot up and out.

FLAT HEADED

i cant stress that enough, the only reason i failed is because i was using a round headed one. come out very simply with like 4 hits with a 8mm punch jus make sure its flat headed

[ouch]

looks like someones messed around with this bitch pin. can anyone give me some pointers as to how to get this one out? if not, ill just grind it down and go hard.

find a pin punch that will fit in the pin , and belt it on a angle,

If not use the pin punch, and punch the burrs in, so it isn't in the way

[bennjamin]

Some needle nose pliers may pinch the edges in too - try a two pinches at perpendicular angles

I used a powersteering pump bolt to get mine out very easy. Just line it inside and hammer away.
I suggest going in from the other side and hammering it out.

I use to lie on my back and hammer away as well, which works but can take a while with some stubborn pins. Plus you don't exactly have much room to swing a hammer when lying on your back, you risk damaging other parts and your arm gets really sore

This new method I've just concocted is basically a contraption involving a g-clamp, torx bit and a couple sockets. You can probably figure out where I'm going with this. Instead of hammering shit, you're simply pressing it out.

Much quicker, cleaner and safer in my experience.

FOOL PROOF WAY- tapperd 12mm bolt that bolts the A/C to the bracket if that bolt is too long and u can get swing on the hammer ull find another 12mm bolt that goes thru the bracket and tensions your pwr steering pump the tapper centers the punch and wont chamfer the sides making it harder to get out
