Hi All, I need a little help please.
1. I have tried to drive out the pins that hold the clutch bearing arm onto the bar that runs through the bell housing. I have tried to drift them out with a biggish hammer and a fine scredriver to no avail, the little fatherless swines will not budge. Is there a trick to this or is it just a bigger hammer I need?
2. I want to create a new actuation arm down from the bell housing to replace the flat bar that is there. Ideally it will be a round bar / tube , as slender as I can reasonably make it. Has anyone done that, what works / doesnt work?
Thanks

Andy I've did this recently and found that a punch worked best but it needs to be a good fit ,the first one i tried went inside the pinand also the pins came out in 2 pieces so make sure you get both out if your's are like that,they may not all be...oh and a bigger hammer always help  |

Yep , they need a set of pin punches http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200mm-Millimeter-8-Piece-Parallel-Pin-Punch-Drift-Set-2-4mm-9-5mm-NEW-WARRANTY-/390492849286?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item5aeb300486You need to tap them out from the front . However , as they should be in one piece , the back will butt against the back casing so you need to bend / snap the back portion of the pin to enable you to get it out . The roll pins have a tendancy to shear anyway and that is one of the reasons some folk get trouble putting the engine into gear . This is due to the clutch thrust arm rotating around the hollow tube due to the roll pins being broken where the pin and the shaft meet . Slight cure is to insert a solid / split pin through the middle of the roll pin after it is fitted . This reinforces the roll pin . . . |

2. I want to create a new actuation arm down from the bell housing to replace the flat bar that is there. Ideally it will be a round bar / tube , as slender as I can reasonably make it. Has anyone done that, what works / doesnt work.
Looked into doing this, 6mm round bar flexed but you should be able to get away with 8mm. 3/8" might be better though. Next time I remove the gearbox, I am going to to replace the ugly actuator arm, with a chrome, left hand crank, from an old style pushbike. Some motorcycle gearlevers may also suitable with modification. Just an idea |

I am certain I got my replacement pins for John Copestake (Copesake?) along with spare core plug and some other odds and ends
