    i cut through the shaft, pulled out the engine, drilled out the hole and got a new drive shaft :S

    found it really hard to get the drill under etc etc... try a dremel, mine was broken at the time.. use it to drill out the pin.

    You sure your not being a girl.. may be you have taken enough out to pull out the drive shaft, if you can punch through from both ends, as the thing is hollow.. maby a big tug is all it needs to pull it off.

    Just some suggestions!

    how much is sticking out... the number of things i got stuck.

    Grip the mole grips to it and then hit the grips with a hammer.. worked every time for me!

    the middle pin is out then started on the other bit the punch stapped inside and cant grip it, so i got a new punch and started hitting it from other side it got so far then stopped and wont budge the other ends the same it seems to be stuck in the middle

    thanks again for the help keep it coming
