Hi rusty,<br /><br />Welcome to a fun group. <br /><br />If the pin is stuck in the bottom of the crank, then you'll have to remove the powerhead and work in the bottom end of the crank. As for a new pin, just buy a new one, and spring, and put them in the end of the driveshaft and while they're compressed, stake it.<br /><br /><br />Chris.............

Is the pin broken? If there's any of it exposed, grab it with a set of tower pincers. Yes, that '+' it where the original was staked.<br /><br />Chris.........

Don't thin kdrilling will work. It's a spring loaded pin and once the drill 'bites' the pin will just spin. Try opening the exsisting stakes. It should just pop out under spring tension.<br /><br />Chris.............
