wheel extender pins are retarted

[rctimewaster]

i remove the grub screw that goes inside the extender that's rests against the pin and when i removed the grub screw i was expecting the pin to fall or tap out.
Wrong!
They won't screw out.

They won't screw out.

That grub screw that holds the pin is stripped out?
The screw is locked in?
The pin is seized in there?
If the pin is seized in there, had the same issue with my rear shafts on my rusty, used wd40, vise grips, pliers, and a flat head screw driver as a hammer.

It' actually a small hex bolt that goes inside the extender and that did come out.
But how those screw pins can come out is beyond me, and there is nothing on the end of them to even allow them to screw out.

Those pins look like some one tightened them until they twisted them in two, then removed the threaded portion, which is why they are flush on one side but recessed past the threads on the other side.

I would try tapping them out, with a good fitting drive punch inserted into the threaded hole. You shouldn't have to pound on them to get them to move.

i don't believe the threaded portion has been removed because the rest of the pin would just drop out.
I did hit them with a hammer and they did not budge.

Try turning to the left and pushing a small screwdriver through the other side at the same time. Just don't stab yourself.

the person who put this on may not of use the original pin, it could be just a thread bolt screwed all the way through.
I'll probably just drill them out without damaging the wheel extender thread.

that pin job looks more messy than when the gals come over my place on Friday night hobby night.

Someone may have put loctite on them. It appears when you removed the hex, the pins were siezed in the hole and broke off. Add heat and tap them out.

Thank you.
I started drilling on one side and got half way through and now i have given up there stuck in good and the pins are not soft metal at least the bearings are still good.
I'll put them back on the rear of the bahja as is, maybe they will still hold together or break.
edit: the extenders will go back onto a Baha i bought and it's got a steel body cage.

I'm gonna do this to the Baha.
