#38 - How to remove a broken pin from a blind hole.

[@finnthecheese2846]

Thanks for this, I'm a guy in the US that collects older firearms and had a pin shear when I was attempting to repair a broken extractor spring. Definitely going to have to give this a try and keep my fingers crossed!

Good luck 👍🙂

Cool trick with the punch! Gonna have to try that some day!

[@adamblanks3573]

Nice repair job. Skills like that are seriously lacking now days.

[@xyzconceptsYT]

Cheers mate. 😃

Do you think this also works when the pin has a tight press fit?

[@xyzconceptsYT]

Yes. This was the case in my video.

@@xyzconceptsYT Thanks! I’m gonna try it out!

I can’t even get to the drill a hole Into the pin part on what I’m looking at. It’s a rotary valve drive pin in a motorcycle crank shaft. Must be a hardened pin, I can’t even get a good dimple punched in it. Gonna force myself to wait until I can take it into work where I have better tools.

Sounds like it is a hardened pin seeing as you can't mark it with a punch. You will need carbide tooling to best handle that. Good luck.
