WHen heating the hanger, dont forget to apply candle wax, lots of it and let it wick in. DO not heat the hanger red hot. It needs to be hot enough to easily melt the wax. If the hanger is heated to hot, the wax will smoke and bust into flame. This is just a waste of wax as its burning off and not soaking in.

Do this a few times, letting it cool betwee each wax application. Then put a puller on her and crank it out. I like to use a old impact socket, 3/8 fine thread bolt and some washers to make a puller. Crank the 3/8" bolt in the Zerk hole. Yes, I know its pipe thread !!! I have never had a pin not come out using this method.

Good Luck, best wishes

Paul
