Default Re: Drive shaft removal

Now about a week earlier I did run into a little trouble removing a pin that was holding a 6 to 6 spline coupling on a '40 solid type driveshaft. The previous owner had ground a huge slot on both sides of the coupling at both ends of the pin. Then they started pounding on what they thought was the end of the pin (which it wasn't) with something pointed like a center punch. To find the ground end of the pin, I heated the area with a torch which then allowed me to see the pin. Then I did the same drilling on that pin as I described in post #2, and the drove that pin right out.
