Get a pin punch and drift them out, if you don't have a pin punch then a concrete nail with the tip ground flat will work (the right diameter of course). They are spring pins and I think they are stepped so will only go one way, if you can't remove one, try the other one.

Daniel

i remember this bloody pin. you need something exactly the same size as the pin and punch it through.

we ended up just cutting it off cos i new i had a spare

An electric drill chuck key is what i used years ago, give it a good hit.

Put it in Reverse, then use a 3/16" pin punch to drive the front pin out.
If you don't own a PROPER pin punch, go buy one, or a set- before you slip with the BFH and hurt yourself...

Good thinking, it should be a lot easier to remove with a broken drill in it.

^^^

It's a rolled pin..you use a pin punch to drive it out...you will need it to put back once you put the engine back in so it's worth saving

Go to your nearest supercheap auto, say "Hi I'd like a pin punch set" and pay the person around $10... You will need it again to put the engine in with a new pin anyway...

Split pins are soft crap, even softer now made in China...
And always undersized.
The proper pins are a `roll' or `spring' pin, they are harder, and a tight fit so the linkage has less slack.
Do it properly- these pins cost peanuts...
