Rc10gt cvd pins

[person123]

I have a used rc10gt with mip cvds. I am rebuilding the truck and I just want to clean the cvds. I was able to get one apart and I cleaned it with hot water and dish soap. I can't get the pin (in the joint) out of the other cvd though. Set screw came out fine, but the pin deal wont slide out. I heated the joint with a hairdryer, then with a flame then with hot water each time trying to loosen the pin. It is still stuck and I think that it may be some threadlock that leaked off of the set screw when the previous owner assembled them. Any ideas on how to get it out?

Try a straight pin?

Have you tried a straight pin to push the CVD pin out?

yeah, I tried a small hex driver and a little probe/shank thing. I'm going to spray it down with wd40 or something today to try to loosen it up.
