Hi guys:
For thirty years I have been annoyed by my broken emergency brake lever. I have cut my head more than I can count on the sharp metal where the plastic broke away.
I've tried removing the roll pin various times over the years with no success. I have a machine shop and could've made something, but never got around to it...now the car is torn down and I want to finally fix this issue. I started looking online at roll pin removal presses and came across a motorcycle chain breaker at Harbor Freight that looked like it might work or be easily modified so that it would.
So I bought one for I think $14.95 or less. It worked perfect with no modification. The factory roll pin is 3/16"(.1875") and the press is .157" pin press.
Anyway, if any of you have ever wanted an easy way to remove the roll pin, here is a $15 example.
Thanks
