Stuck 2nd gear roll pin

Was starting my rebuild today on a g360. Removed the blocker ring and tried to remove the roll pins and they wont budge. Any tricks? Ive tried vise grips, and dikes with no luck. They just slip off.

You need the proper roll pin punch. They come in sets and you have to have the proper sized one for the pin you're pressing out or in. I have a small set of hollow starter punches and a set of final depth punches.

Look on Amazon for roll pin punches.

Agreed...Roll pin punches are specifically made for damage free removal of roll pins......Ben

I should have mentioned its the 2nd gear roll pins that hold the blocker ring. I got the blocker ring off. Now the roll pins have to be pulled out because its a blind hole.

RESOLVED. too hard to drill, so I welded a screw to the roll pin and pryed it out. Worked perfectly.
