Need help/suggestion

You will never get that out beating on it. You'll just fatten the ends of the stainless pin making it even tighter.
I would first try an air chisel with a point tip. Hit it once quick and hard. If the pin doesnt budge get a giant C clamp and put a socket on the fixed end to press the pin into. Tighten it up as much as you can. Heat the crap out of the housing with a propane torch and rap the end of the threaded end of the C clamp, qiuck and hard with a 5 pound dead blow hammer .
If it still wont budge drill out the ends of the pin on each side progressively larger until it falls out

Tons of info on Google" etec lower trim pin removal"

First off, I will Google it thanks..

My machinist here at work loaned me his air hammer (chisel I guess) it has a flat end or point end. My compressor is probably too small to deliver enough air so my son's friend works for an garage/autobody shop, and has a tow truck with a big compressor and he can come by and we'll try it again. Shes not on the trailer and I want to do it in the yard.

If no -go..once I'm back on the trailer, I will bring her to my work where I have a full machine shop and BIG compressor we have some flywheel pullers, but the C clamp may fit better . Until I do it, I will keep soaking with PB blaster and I'll try some heat.

Ronny: I really want to stay away from cutting, but as a last resort it's probably the only way to go.

Thanks guys !!!!!!!

Angle grinder and thin wheel will eat right through that

good choice Ron.
Mike's choice good as well, just be careful on that aluminum either way.

forgive me - I'm away from the tools for a while and rusty.
Getting dumb - been back as a boiler operator for 2 years - sittin my azz all day watching a boiler make steam.

Boiler makes steam, steam spins turbine, turbine spins generator, generator makes electricity. Now my power tools work, and my food stays cold and I can watch TV if I want...... GOOD JOB BEETLE !!!!!

Can't take credit for all that Vanster, at a Pharma. company in Hopkinton, just steam, chillers and distilled water.

No turbines, generators, ect. life is good.
hardest part is the commute and 12h shifts.

Isn't cast aluminum pissa


The one time I did something similar Van is doing a trim cylinder on an I/O. There was actually a grease fitting on the inside of the boat meant to push the pin out with grease gun pressure. Not that worked, it was still froze. More heat and patient.

It is just a su*k job Van. You will be cussing that's for sure.........
