Rear wheel locating pegs.

[Old Yella]

I have unfortunately got a groken rear pin or two that I need to remove.

I have got the nuts out but the remaining shank that was left after the pin broke has got a rather stubborn attitude and wont come out of the back plate where the rear disc mounts to the rear axle.

The bolts had thread set or similar on them but I got these out.

The shank of the pin is stuck and even after a few, read lots, of light, read heavy, taps, read clouts, of a hammer and drift they dont want to come out.

Has anyone had to do this before and got any tips?

Was thinking of heating the plate and tapping it out as I think they have been heat shrunk in by the looks of it?

Hints advice and p!$$ taking gladly accepted.:(

Hey Mother Theresa
You should see the size of mine! :D:D:D

No sensible ideas then I take it?

Getting a tad desperate now, them buggers are solid!

Tried all sorts of stuff and still no joy.

Anybody got a good rear axle for sale?:mad:

Come on mate! You know that gentle persuasion is the best. By the way, what would you rather be??????

Woo Hoo

Expert advice from Nelly coupled with copious amounts of apple juice won the day for me.

It appears I was too tentative in my original attempts at curing this problem even though I was hitting it pretty hard.

Big hammer, resiting of bolts with 1/8 inch clearance from the back plate and a socket mounted on the bolt and a severe smack with the lump hammer had em on the retreat.

Not all things need gentle persuasion, some just need a bloody good smack.

Was still worried about damage though so had some courage giver handy ;)
