So, contrary to logic, or at least mine, the pin comes out downward?  I've
gotten the plastic cover off, but the pin looks to be pretty much the same
size at either end.  Do you recall using a drift punch or a vise or
something else?

Thanks,

Karl Wolz

|If memory serves me right, you have to clean out all the grease t in the

|
|You'll see there's a plastic piece/cover you can work out with a awl...
|
|Then you can tap out the pin..

|Hope that makes some sense...
