Pin that won’t remove from 4-speed transmission bracket (Page 1/1) Cody m MAR 03, 03:44 PM While trying to install Rodney dickmans transmission select bushings on my 86 4-speed . I need to take off the bracket the thing stopping me is this pin it won’t budge. How have you guys gotten the bracket off? pmbrunelle MAR 03, 03:59 PM You should be able to strike the pin with a hammer to push it out, if not directly, then via a drift punch.

I have been using a punch and hammer with on blaster. Then using Map gas heating it up but it just doesn’t budge at all. I don’t know what to do next pmbrunelle MAR 03, 05:55 PM Can you try a C-clamp to push out the pin? (with a small socket to cover the pin's head) Cody m MAR 03, 06:37 PM quote Originally posted by pmbrunelle: Can you try a C-clamp to push out the pin?

I’m thinking of getting an air hammer to try. 1985 Fiero GT MAR 03, 07:21 PM Don't use to much heat or force, the trans is aluminum, and it will be very easy to really badly damage something, let it disk in penetrating oil for a few days, reapplying twice a day. If a simple light hammer can't get it out, it isn't coming out without breaking something expensive, let penetrating oil do it's thing.

I was very eager to get it off but I’ll let it bask so I don’t break anything. Thanks
