Okay... any tips on getting the gas tube pin out?
I broke (2) 1/16 punches and a (1) 1/16 drill bit.  The pin has not budged.

Hey Tweak,
I did a quick search in the archives and found out the roll pin is really 5/64. I cut down a 5/64 drill bit and used that. That got it out. Looks like I'm going to Sears tomorrow to get a new punch and a couple of drill bits.. ETA: Yeah, that short 1/16 probably would have worked. |

5/64= 0.0781 1/16= 0.0625 - = 0.0156 never use a full length pin punch for a pin with a short throw else you won't have a full length punch for long.

I'll consider this a learning experience!  Thankfully it isn't going to be an expensive one!
