Ralph, You'll see a hole below the ring/finger where there's a spring pin. Some call them a roll pin. It's what's holding the ring/finger in the pylon and it needs to be driven out. Then the shank can be really stuck due to corrosion. Some have resorted to applying upwards force with a chain hoist or "come a long" while twisting the ring back and forth. Be carefull not to apply too much force on the ring since some have bent them. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| Corroded in is very likely. Use torch to heat up the pole while twisting the ring with something like a shovel handle. Back and forth then lift and twist out. |

got one pin out but having trouble with the other. Ring seems loose so if I can get the other pin out, should come out. Thanks ------------- RKE |

Some penetrating spray in the pins help as they corrode also, and heat from the opposite as the spray will help draw the oil in where its needed. Then I got a set of these so I can remove when using my fly high pole 316 Stainless Steel Ring-Grip Heavy Duty Push-Button Quick-Release Pins https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-quick-release-pins/=1dgu374" rel="nofollow - https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-quick-release-pins/=1dgu374 |
