When removing tension pins, you need a pin punch very close to the diameter of the pin in order to successfully remove the pin without trauma to the assembly or the pin. Working strictly from a waning memory, I recall that pin as being 2 - 3 mm (about 3/32 in.) in diameter. The one I removed drifted out with little effort. Rich |
