Started late last night so I only got as far as getting the crud covered steering pump out of my way so I could easily access the "bearing pins" holding in the broken tming chain guide. Service manual specifies a slide hammer for bearing pin removal, unless I pull the radiator it doesn't appear that there will be enough room for a reasonable "swing" with a slide hammer. Has anyone successfully removed the pins with a sort of puller? How difficult should the pins be to remove? Is there danger of pulling out the pin's threads before the pin itself? I can't wait to pressure wash this engine compartment.
