I have tried to punch the pin out but it wont budge. It seems like it should come out. I need to replace the thrust washer that keeps the cam stable. Any help is appreciated. |

Keith is right. It's some crazy kind of steel and I think it was peened in there originally as well. The retaining spring that goes outside of it is backup, so I don't know why it's in there so good. Heat probably isn't the best idea. Just use a good solid drift and a well placed, firm hammer hit.
Regarding the thrust plates - those are steel. John has the correct ones that should fit, even if they're not listed on his website. He's a big Type 4 guy, so he's got a lot there that is for sale that isn't necessarily advertised. Give him a call and good luck! |
