Driveshaft roll pin type

[Wobba]

Renault are saying there are two types. What type do I need? I think he said split or open or something?

open i assume they are the 5mm roll pin used to have a 3mm inner pin too..

yes agree just had fun gettin the little blighters out of a driveshaft good size hammer and quality pin punches drift small one out first then larger one as small one acts as wedge for larger one have fun another stupid design by renault

i just got one from the local motor factors, about 5p or something ridiculous

Oh God. Am I going to have another nightmare getting the pin out? Is it going to lead to another panicked Wobba post when I realise I've not got the tools/****ed it up?

So, is it two pins? or just the one? Can they be withdrawn without damage?

Think it's like £1.50 at Renault for one.

I use a big split pin, does the same job, and can be removed much much more easily that a rollpin

I've not really had a look at how it's set up yet. Till I do I wont know what option I have really.

just get a decent punch the same size as the outer roll pin and both will come out together. its a pretty easy job really, just make sure you get the puch straight and give it some welly ;)

Dont think I've even got a punch :D

Never had a problem with mine, it's just a small hollow cylinder style pin

Punch it in with copper grease, and punch it out with a flat head screwdriver. Always comes out and goes in with ease.
