Cotter pin removal

Post by jeffrey townsend » Mon Apr 09, 2018 12:51 pm

Hi All,

A few weeks ago I asked for suggestions to help remove king pin cotters on an old axle I have. In the end pressing didn't work and I resorted to  careful drilling. This worked fine and the cotters came out but still needed a good hit.

Thanks to all for their suggestions.

All I have to do now is remove the king pins which at the moment are stuck fast in the axle despite soaking in WD40 and use of a brass drift and hammer. maybe I should leave it to the guy who is going to straighten the axle. He will have a good press.
