Driveshaft Pin...

[1995clio16v]

Just to check, does it only come out one way? Drivers side (obv not one on the other side).

Think ive given up tapping it out.

Cant believe what Ive done. Think Im gonna have to take a drill to it out.

Like a twat was hamering it with a nail punch but not checking progress as i was doing it and just nutting it, the punch was wedging itself inbetween the wall of the shaft and the pin.

Finally when I decided to check progress realised what Id done. Tried waggling it out, Stuck to ****! Tried waggling it more, the ****er snapped off!

Oh well, next time Ill remember!

Need a proper punch, they can come out either end though

It's unbeliveably better to use a proper punch to get it out compared to anything else, another lesson I learned the haard way

Sometimes they are easier to get out one way than the other I find. Can be a bitch at first, and yes, many have done as you and gotten a punch/screwdriver stuck.

It does not necessarily need belting hard, just enough to shock the pin out a little at a time, making sure your not forcing the tool you use into the hole.

Think I used a flat head screwdriver along the edge of the pins the first time. The roll pins themselves are hollow so you need to tap the edges, not the middle.

just keep bashing it will come out eventually .

i use a long bolt and a nut instead of the roll pin .

That's just being a pikey schacks :P

The pin itself is 5mm iirc but if you use a 4mm punch it's thin enough that it wont get stuck in the hole & just big enough to tap the pin out. A bit of WD40 might help as well since it could have rusted in there

I've got a flat headed screwdriver which is the perfect size. Must be 4mm as it always punches it out but never gets stuck in the hole :D

Win!
