When I pulled the axles the roll pins stayed in the stub axles. they are blind holes so I can't push them out from the back and grabbing them with vice grips and prying has not budged them.
I am sure this has happened to others, What did you do? I guess drilling them would be an option, but wondered if there was another way.  |

Drill chuck method did not work for me, Applied some heat and tried clamping with vice grips and tapping with hammer. after no progress I decided to try drilling them.
Major Fail.... these pins are hard.. Even with cutting foam I still had sparks flying , until I had a busted of piece of drill bit inside the hardened spring steel roll pins. Applied some more heat and went back to the vice grip method. I had measured the height to tell if it was moving, and once I got it to move a little it came out fine. did the same with the other side, minus the busted drill bit part. |
