This is my third MB head R&R and I hate the slide pins more and more. On the M103, there isn't a solid face at the head of the slide pin to allow the stacked washers method to work (and I've saved up a bunch of injector heat shields, too). My makeshift slide hammer (long bolt, big impact socket) isn't doing it. Any ideas before I fabricate a bridge so I can use stacked washers against the head?

Thanks,
Sixto
