W4 Show: Pulling The Pin

[@dc6233]

That's the easiest way to break a tap fellas, I know it's a 1" tap but you have to support the opposite side such as a T handle or support the tap on the opposite side with your hand offsetting that load. It always helps to drill the hole a hair larger for easier tapping, 1/32 or 1/16th larger hole size helps tremendously. That's a hardened pin, the outer case at the very least, grind the head you're mushrooming at a 45, and where's your tap oil?? Clean up that pin in a lathe, hone the holes/bushings, make sure grease is getting in there and toss it back in. Hey, whatever works for you guys, you obviously have every tool at your disposal that I'll never see let alone own. I'm not a "know it all in the least, I've done the same stuff, made the same mistakes and paid the price many many times...

[@paulholmes1303]

And cutting oil might have helped as well.

That's cool you got it to work, but I'd actually like to see proper way manufactures do it. Gotta be a puller made for that...

[@kaseycoleman993]

It's sparking because the pin was mushroomed by the sledge. The pins now larger than the bore.

[@embededfabrication4482]

Ur sposed to turn the tap back 1/4 turn to vreak the chip Shouldnt u hammer it while your trying to pull it out?

[@stevenkleinhenz1017]

Got the same problem on my Kubota skid steer!

[@andyhessler5896]

Why the heck doesn't the pin have features for extracting?

[@embededfabrication4482]

It does, it's called a grease nipple, but u gotta grease it once in a while

[@driveheronman4304]

Should have simply soften the hardened pin with the gas first to save the taps then pull it with some heat on it while hammering the back with sledge, its my everyday job🤬

[@stevenkleinhenz1017]

So heat first? Will mapp gas work? I don’t have oxygen and acetylene

[@driveheronman4304]

@@stevenkleinhenz1017mapp is good to relax the mental for drilling and tapping just stay on it for ten minutes yeah

[@driveheronman4304]

And weld a 20mm bar to a 40mm old pin to knock it out don’t hit 2 hammers🤦🏻‍♂️

[@embededfabrication4482]

I got one on my backhoe bucket that I can only pull, there is a hole behind it but can't access cause it's blocked by the engine. I made a puller with threaded rod but it doesn't budge.

[@embededfabrication4482]

​@@stevenkleinhenz1017no it will be too slow and heat both parts at the same time

[@jeffreykreft5442]

Jesus, first off, don’t buy cheap taps from harbor freight, I can tell, because those threads look like shit. I am really amazed they didn’t break the tap off. Also annealing the pin would have greatly eased this process.

[@terryferguson4080]

What type of hydraulic puller was that?

[@lnpipeline3306]

OTC is the brand. I believe the same tool is sold under the brand name of Power Team. I’ve got some Power Team stuff, and it seems like good quality.

[@Panostes]

Very good job guys, I have a similar video on KZbin...

Dude get a Lance you literally just spent the same amount
