This is a pain in the ass! Anyone know how to get it out? Finishing up my auto to manual swap and this is the only thing i cant get finished. 8mm punch isnt working even with a sledge hammer.
yep, like what sleepingciv said just get something that will fit in that hole and use a hammer and gently tap it out. it's also known as "the bitch pin." it's very easy though. takes all of 1minute
Do what Sleepingciv said or just grab an old spark plug if you don't have a punch. I've heard they work just as well, the plug will be destroyed at the end of it though...
I use a 8mm bolt with the threads ground off, works like a charm. I also would suggest if your having a problem to buy a replacement instead of reusing the "problem" one. Coat the new one with anti-size before installing.
some of those are in fact a BITCH! Sometimes on jack stands you just can't get a hard enough swing. Run to Autozone/Discount and rent one. Hell buy the cheapo one they are like like 25 bucks. Rat-tat-tat and boom its out.
Spray it with some PBblaster or some other sit and find a flat ended bolt or punch that covers the whole pin but fits in the hole then hit it with a hammer..... you dont want something with a taper.
Matco sales a tool specificaly for the Bitchpin part # MST6455 $25.25.And works In seconds ! I did buy it because the Bitch pin was so damn stuck triyed evrything nothing worked ! had my trany sitin around a wile because i din't even Whant to look at it !!! HAHAHA Lol !
1 can pb blaster 2.99-3.99
harbor freight punch set - 8.00 to $12.00 ish somewhere in there
pull the trans with the linkage...
once you have it laying in front of you your job just got 1000x easier
spray the shit out of it with pb.....wait 5 min....reapeat....wait 5 min repeat...
then grab the punch that is a bit bigger than the pin and hole, hammer till it starts to move....mine took 5 or 6 full swing man hits before it moved.......once it moved it came out peacfully with the proper size punch....i also supported the tranny and linkages on some 2x4 to support it and stop the hole thing from moving around.
i have attemped this befor while it was in the car. trying to do a clutch change. me and my buddies all spent like 4 hours or so trying different thing to get it to work.......only took like 2 1/2 to 3 hours to drop the tranny put in a new clutch and get it all bolted back up with the linkage attatched......
