an idea for pin removal tool
What if I just used a bolt, nut, washer and a small piece of pipe?
=[ <\\\\\[=====]|[]\\\\\[]
=[ pin in engine
<\\\\\ bolt (6 or 8mm - FSM says two pins need to be removed)
[=====] pipe
| washer
[] nut
\\\\\[] bolt head
1. thread nut all the way onto bolt
2. slip washer onto bolt
3. slip pipe on bolt
4. thread bolt into pin head
5. tighten nut while holding bolt head, causing pin to be pulled from engine
(I realize pipe ID must be large enough for pin head.)
Do you think it will work?
