Roto flex conversion *help*

[redrange]

Converting the Roto flex driveshaft. To a you joint. Getting the pin out of the third in the back is proving very difficult. Does anyone have any tactics that I could use to get that thing out a little easier?

I made a tool to pull it out. Pipe reducer and a rigid piece of steel with a hole drilled in it. Thread a bolt into the pin from the top and slowly tighten it. Keep checking the threads on the bolt. You may need a new bolt halfway through the process if the threads start to get boogered.

This is what I used then an air hammer chisel when the bolt broke off.

x2, but I heated it up with a torch before hitting it with the air chisel. It wasn't easy, but it did eventually come out...
