QUOTE(Cap'n Krusty @ Jan 18 2009, 09:02 PM)  Musta been a POS (what else) Harbor freight vise. I usually use a hammer, but occasionally a vise. never a problem. As for a bolt, you'd need a barely slip fit shaft, with a minimal head and almost no threads sticking out the other side. There has to be clearance for the shaft to rotate ......... The Cap'n Who or WTF is Harbor freight? |

Right, I got hold of another bronze bushing set and that roll pin is just as impossible to install. In all the years of aircoolled VW's there are only two bollocks jobs. A clutch cable in a right hand drive Beetle and this bloody roll pin. This is getting silly. The part number off my bushing set is 930 423 401 90 i think...

Two things to screw up a press fit....
One, the pin is cocked....... Two, the hole has a burr or a step in it (see thing 1 for the cause or see the burr or step caused by the punch and BFH used in removing the former pin) I'd measure the hole with drill bits to determine the hole size ( and to clean up the step or burr imprinted in the hole...) Then I"d measure the pin with calipers. If there is a big difference, ya gots the wrong pin. As per the screw, there is a reason for the pin- can you say spring steel?????? Unlike the bolt, It's harder than hell and has a little give when you slam the pedal down..... Ken |

Dammit, I wonder if I can get PP to send me the money to replace my trashed vise after I used it to try and install the roll pin I ordered from them a while back?

QUOTE(9146986 @ Jan 18 2009, 08:55 PM) I've rebuilt at least a dozen pedal clusters Hi Perry - I'm a few steps behind Roman (Veltror). I've got the roll pin out but can't shift the shaft itself. Whats the trick ? A BFH will only make things worse. Advice please. Hi Roman - if you're doing the nuts and bolts it must be coming home soon ? Andrew. |

Andrew, use heat. A propane or map gas torch works fine for this. You might melt the plastic bushings, but you aren't going to re-use them.

The pin is orderable from Porsche and not expensive!!! |
