Transmission pedal shafts

Post by BarrettR » Fri May 26, 2023 7:49 pm

Replacing pedal shafts, the wort part is getting the pins out, the clutch pedal was loose on the shaft the pin came out easily the brake and reverse pedals is another story I had to use heat WD-40 and drill into the pins from both sides only then would the pins drive out with a punch. BTW I ended up bending the punch shaft :roll:


Using my 20 ton press worked beautifully to remove the shafts.

When I remove those pins, I drill 3/4 of the way through, leaving a solid engine for the punch to drive on. Up your drill size until the hole just breaks through the side. Now you have a split rivet and only the last little bit to drive out.

Hope this helps
