what bolt size - slide hammer to remove guide pin?
My M104 upper timing cover wasn't coming off very easily, so I started trying to remove the guide pin. (I see from Steve's post above that I should be able to remove the cover first; nevertheless, I'll need to remove the pin sooner or later.) I tried a 12-24 bolt and it screws in about 1/4 inch, which should be sufficient. I tried an M6-10 and it goes in about 1-2 turns. The hardware store only carries M5 in 0.8 pitch. I'll try it, but I'm guessing I need either M5 or 5.5 (is there such a thing?) in 10 pitch. tia.
