Trevorm34 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Oops. So basically, I'm trying to replace my shift joint. I got some punch pins to pop the roll pins out. I got one out, but i thought there were 2, so...now I have my punch pin stuck in the hole pretty bad. Any idea how to get it out?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I would put vise grips on the top of the punch. Put them on real tight at a right angle to the punch, but be careful not to break off the punch. Then use something to act as a small hammer like a 15mm or 17mm wrench or a tack hammer. Slide it up the punch away from the hole so that it hits the vise grips. With some time and lots of light hits you should be able to drive the punch up out of the hole. There is supposed to be two roll pins in there. One fits inside the other. Perhaps you drove both out together, or perhaps someone else was in there ahead of you and didn't understand why there were two and they only put the big one back?

Trevorm34 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) I didn't see a 2nd pin come out which is why i tried to punch it out after i got the inner one. (Or so i thought, I used a smaller punch). The punch head is what is stuck. So it can only come out from the bottom, not the top. %5Bimg%5Dhttps%3A//i.imgur.com/ntl1dbE.jpg[/img] Edited October 15, 2019 by Trevorm34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Right. Put the visegrips at the bottom of the punch where it goes out of the picture. Then lightly tap downward on the top of the grips right where they grip onto the punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRumble Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 You can really bang up the trans hitting this too hard. The shifter will feel sloppy in gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Yes, we're talking lots of taps almost soft enough to do on your finger instead of on the tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
