I got twin J175's it only took me 2 days of heating it and beating it, to get both the top and bottom pins out. The top one is easy compared to the bottom one. My engines are both 2002 and have been run in salt water...

I hear ya brother. And thanks for the comment. The hardest pin I ever removed was on an 84 Yamaha 150 that was run exclusively in the salt water. If I never have to remove another retaining pin in my life it will be too soon. But if I do, I'm going to try to pull it out instead of push it out. The physics of pulling instead of pushing dictates it should be easier. I'm not sure why I didn't thing of this before I drove three of them out by pushing.
