Undertook a pedal cluster rebuild on the 912 this morning, and that friggin' roll pin has defeated me. I've tried a pin punch, then heat, then drilling the sucker out. Haven't moved the pin one bit and I've now broken four drill bits (two inside the pin).
Thing is, this car is my daily driver, so I need it running on Monday. I *can* just put the floppy cluster back in, but I really rather not. I can also steal the rebuilt cluster out of my barely running 914 (temporarily). However, if there's anyone in the Bay Area with a press or an EDM or some other tool that stands a better chance of getting this pin out, I'd love to pay you a visit. |

Many, many thanks to Patrick, the roll pin has been removed after much effort and swearage. I'd like to say it was some high-tech item in his way-too-cool shop that did the deed, but in the end it relented to a mill vice, a drift pin, and a drilled block. We could never get the press to work, and banging didn't do a thing.
The lever was also well stuck to the shaft, but a gear puller did the trick there. I'm about to reinstall the newly bushed cluster back in the car, ready to be driven to work again tomorrow. Owe you one, Patrick. Muchas gracias... |
