Torch & vicegrips, if you mess up a bracket you can get new ones for about $15.

 

That's about it. You are replacing the slide pin, right. If so, grab onto it with some vice grips. Spray some penetrating oil on it and keep working it around.

 

I broke a pin off flush with the bracket trying to do that without heat, lube alone won't do it.

 

I ended up buying new brackets when the pins rotted in there.

 

It's sticking out enough that I can try to turn it with a wrench, no dice... Tried the hammer. Gonna soak it tonight and tomorrow and try again...

 

DO you have access to an air chisel? get one with a blunt tip and just vibrate the hell out of the area around the pin.

 

Did you ever get one out with heat?? This one doesn't LOOK rusted that bad...

 

Yes it did come out with some heat, ended up melting the housing alittle but it came out. We deal with stuck slide pins up here alot with a vice, torch & vice grips. This is another one that we got out without damaging anything. Pin & housing were both re-useable.

 

Submerse it in penetrating lube for X amount of time. Hammer it IN. I know that sounds backwards but if you can break it free, it will come out.

Otherwise just suck it up and buy a new one.

 

That's what I've been doing mostly. Spraying and hammering while trying to twist it out.

 

PB blaster for a couple of days and get after it. I'm glad I live in the desert. But I have restored several muscle cars that were from the midwest and PB works better than anything I have used. Good luck.

 

Have you tried Kroil from these guys?

KanoLabs.com

It works increadably well, only place Ive seen it is the welding supply shop in town, om guessing its because its marked "for industrial use only"

Its smells really good too!

The bracket that holds my Downpipe to the turbo was stuck on, probably hadn't been touched for 300k, i pounded on it hard and it wouldn't budge, gave it a few squirts about 30 sec apart, came back 15 minutes later and it just fell right off, ive seen it work miracles before, but thats the best ive ever seen it do

 

Man up and buy a new one... I didnt have the patience to try and get it out.

 

All the above and/or......you can try drilling a hole opposite of the pin and using a punch to drive it out - then seal it back up using J/B or silicone.

 

Kroil........... so badass it causes cancer. Says so right on the can LOL.

 

Call it Eskimo piss up here.............good stuff!

 

Did you get it?

 

That's all I ever use is Kroil. Hopefully it'll fall out today.
