NOTE! Rear Spring Pin Removal - Welded a large nut to a 1/8n.p.t. pipe plug (this is the same thread as the grease nipple). Screw the plug
into the pin and use a slide hammer to pull on the nut. Another method is to use a 8 grade fine thread 3/8ths bolt about 6" inches
long and some 7/8 I.D. steel pipe cut to 1.5 and 3 inch lengths and 3/8 fender washers and nut. You will have to cut threads up the
bolt. Screw on nut to head of bolt, remove the grease fitting from spring pin and slip on several washers, then pipe and screw bolt
into spring pin and seat. Align pipe over pin before turning nut while holding bolt head to pull out pin. Some pins may be rusted and
will resist pulling, so you might need to hit the pin using a hammer and brass rod to loosen it up.
Also, who stocks the pins and bushings beside VPW?
